We were recently appointed to complete a small re-ordering project to the tiny, yet perfectly formed St Peter’s Church in South Thornaby.

The church is Grade II* listed and dates back to the 12th century and has a Norman font.

A fascinating bit of history and legend is it was the place of supposed baptismal of Grace Pace, Captain Cooks mother. Previously it was named St Mary's, but was rededicated to St Peter ad Vincula after an early twentieth century renovation.

This delightful little church remains at the heart of the community, but as is common in ancient churches, there is a lack of facilities. We have been commissioned to look at some schemes to install a toilet and provide a small kitchenette and storage.

We drew up several options and await the decision from the PCC to decide which route they want to take!
