St. Peter's church

Mikeymutt · Feb 5, 2014

St. Peter's church is a lovely ruined church just outside of Norwich sitting just off the main road.the tower collapsed into the nave which was just boarded up in the roof.it was deemed not good enough and was shut in 1936.it sits next to a house and the owner is letting it go back to nature.as I came out some lady pulled up with her teenage daughter,and next things they were scrambling through the trees to get to see it,an explorer in the making.

There is nothing sadder than a disused church that has had a cheap cosmetic restoration, just left to sit in the landscape. Far better to let nature in all its forms take over the ruins - caught in the light of an early sun rise or late sun set ruins like this can be magical.

One can imagine standing there, still, and feeling the emotion of the place where for centuries people have prayed. How many lives have been entwined with this place? Perhaps it is good that it is being reclaimed by nature rather than bulldozed and "redeveloped". As Dirus Strictus observes, "there is nothing sadder than a disused church".
