St Peter, Dunchurch
The Square
Dunchurch
CV22 6NQ
A priest is recorded in the Domesday book for the village of Donecerce, now Dunchurch. Although no trace remains of this earliest building, there is plenty of history at St Peter's. Highlights include the Kempe east window and the remains of a Norman font, discovered in the vicarage garden.
In 1724, 6 bells were installed at St. Peter’s. These were re-hung in 1913 and again in 1981. The bells are rung for service every Sunday and also for weddings and other special events. For many years following the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, a ‘Guy Fawkes’ peal was rung on November 5th each year, prior to a service of thanksgiving for the preservation of the King’s life.
