East Wittering – St Peter

Church Road, East Wittering, West Sussex PO20 8PS

A modest brick church originally built in 1938, notable for glass by Gabriel Loire.

Originally built as a dual-purpose church and hall seating 150, the building opened on Easter Sunday, 1 April 1939. A local newspaper account (Chichester Observer, 31 March 1939) gave the name of the designer as Harry Osbourne, in conjunction with Messrs Taylor Hunt & Co.

The church was consecrated by Bishop Kieron Conroy on 13 June 2006.

Description

Triplet of round-arched lancets and two single side lancet windows to the sanctuary. These windows have dalle de verre glass of 1963 by Gabriel Loire (cf Chichester).
