Belchford - St Peter & St Paul

Belchford, St Peter & St Paul*

Although most of the present church dates from the19th century, there is positive evidence of a church in the village since the 12th century. When entering through the 18th century semi-circular headed west doorway, the colour of the east window casts a pale blue hue across the chancel and nave. Of particular note are the ornate 19th century altar and reredos, with painted panels depicting virgin and child and apostles; pulpit with panelled sides, containing a relief of Magi with virgin and child; decorated organ; and painted chancel roof. Folders available relating to the history of the church, including historic photographs of church and village.
