 St.
Peter's Church, Budleigh Salterton
St. Peter's Church in Budleigh Salterton
was consecrated in 1893 after a certain amount of delay and problems
in its construction. All the stone used came from quarries in either
Devon or Somerset, and the bricks used were from the local brickworks
at Otterton.
The design is of Early English type, the plan is in
the main cruciform having a nave of five bays. The floor of the sanctuary
is of polished marble and the first impression within the Church is
one of size and space which is not over-obstructed by the slender piers
and lancet arches.
The addition of fine carved reredos in 1931 made a
dramatic feature in the East end. Nine mosaic panels depicting New Testament
scenes are positioned around the Nave and were added over a period of
time in the first half of the 20th century.
Some minor changes have been made to the immediate
exterior of the Church in recent years but the overall appearance is
unchanged.
The Peter Hall, adjacent to the church can be booked
for functions.
