A Grade I listed building with an amazing view over the village of Kinver from it's hill-top site.
From their website -
"The Anglican church of St Peters Church dates back to the 11th century, and was constructed following the Norman Conquest. It was probably built on the site of Pagan rituals to prevent supporters of the old religion from worshiping on the site. There is some evidence of a Saxon church on the site, possibly built dating back to the reign of King Wulhere. The Naive roof is a very fine example of an early Norman wooden roof design. The roof timbers show a double collar beam truss and barrel vaulting. The tower is a later addition dating to 1380, but has the oldest window in the building. The church commands a prominent, easily defended position, and can be seen from miles around, often not in a direction where one would expect to see the church tower."
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1099
