            St. Peter’s Church has stood at the heart of Portishead for over 700 years, underpinning the life of the community. Now St Peter’s needs underpinning! The North West corner has suffered movement that has caused substantial fractures to the walls. Previous generations provided this wonderful building, rebuilt it, repaired it and added to it. Now it’s our turn to make sure it remains standing and fit for purpose for the community of Portishead now and for future generations. Please can you help us gather data for our application for grants by completing the online survey at
