Westleton Parish Church of St. PeterSt Peter's Church, Westleton from the south-east.

Our present church dates from 1340 when the original Anglo-Saxon building was completely rebuilt. When complete the church had a tower but this collapsed in the 1770's. The tower was reduced to a stump which survived until the Second World War when a landmine that fell close by made it unsafe and the remains had to be dismantled.

The exterior of the parish church is unusual in that it has no tower or spire and also has a thatched roof.

Westleton is one of the eight parishes within the Yoxmere Confederation. Please initially contact Church Warden J. Branch 01728 648140 jbranch563@gmail.com 

The church has a wide variety of services at which both traditional and modern liturgies are used.

The church has fine acoustic qualities, which, combined with its light airy appearance, makes it a superb venue for concerts and recitals. These are held on a regular basis and details may be found in the Parish Magazine “The Yoxmere Fisherman”.

Westleton is one of 8 parishes in the Yoxmere Benefice of the Church of England Diocese of St. Edmundsbury and Ipswich.

Revd Tim's Reflections for Sunday 29 May 2022. 

 Read the reflections from Revd Tim

 

St Peter’s Church Westleton  GOOD NEWS   Greetings to you all, Covid restrictions may have been lifted nationally but your church council (PCC) appreciate that many of us still have concerns about the variants and our vulnerability. Having considered the Bishops recommendations we agree with Revd Tim our rector that it would be wise to continue being cautious, so we are requesting that we all continue to use the sanitiser provided, to wear face masks in church and maintain social distance wherever possible. To help everyone feel comfortable, we will refrain from singing in church for the time being, enjoying the last hymn outside when possible.  As many of us are concerned about once more using the Common Cup during Communion, we suggest that if you wish, you may bring your own wine which will be blessed during the service. Having successfully served refreshments during our Wildflower Wander Day, we will serve coffee after the Sunday services, if successful we will reinstate this time of fellowship permanently assuming we can maintain social distance. We want everyone to return to St Peter’s here in Westleton feeling safe sharing the love of Christ as we worship God together once more. 					May God continue to bless us and keep us 							                           Jeremy August 2021
