Reviews of St Peter's Church, Bournemouth

A.

Surprisingly beautiful church right in the heart of Bournemouth. Well worth a visit if you're in the town.

D. I.

Beautiful church. St Peter's Church is a Church of England parish church located in the centre of Bournemouth, Dorset, England. It is a Grade I listed building classed as a 'major parish church', and was completed in 1879 to a design by George Edmund Street as the founding mother church of Bournemouth. The building incorporates work by some of the finest Gothic Revival architects and artists, including Street, George Frederick Bodley, Ninian Comper, Arthur Blomfield and Edward Burne-Jones, with stained glass and frescoes by Clayton and Bell. The chancel has been described as 'one of the richest Gothic Revival interiors in England'.[1] The 202-foot (62 m)-high spire is a landmark in Bournemouth's centre, where it is the Town Centre Parish Church, together with the churches of St Stephen and St Augustine.

A very pretty building, both inside and outside, featuring the Shelley family crypt in the graveyard. Sadly, the inside has the depressingly familiar assortion of aggressively patronising posters and murals all over the place, known to any visitor to Anglican places of worship nowadays, especially ones of historic interest. I was especially offended to see a mural describing the Authorised Version of the Bible - still the official Bible of the C of E - as "colonial propaganda". This embarrassment at beauty is one of the reasons I left the Church, and on this occasion chose not to make a donation.

Came here at the model of the moon was on display. The moon itself was pretty cool but the church is a piece of amazing architecture. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, and I believe Mary Shelly is buried in the ground also if you are in to that sort of history. Local parking nearby and not far away from the centre of town or the beach.

M. C.

If I’m completely honest I have only been here once to see this massive moon which was down in the Bournemouth St Peters church! The architecture is insane in the church and it is humongous inside! The staff there are all so sweet and lovely as well

H. D.

We came here to visit Mary Shelly’s gravesite and were a little disappointed. The church is really beautiful but the cemetery is a little run down. A good stop if you’re close by but not super worthwhile if it’s a big detour.

M. B.

Gorgeous church and churchyard. Peaceful, relaxing and prayerful. Famous as the churchyard where Mary Shelley's grave can be found.

c. p.

The churchyard is so lovely since a lot of hardworking people have been working on cleaning and cutting and planting, it's lovely to walk through now and see gravestones that have been hidden for years. Plus it seems to deter the dodgy characters now it's more open. Well done to everyone involved. 👏

S. F.

Just amazing! The history of this Church! Beautiful architecture and awe inspiring grounds!

M. “.

Pretty church with some interesting history, you can visit Mary Shelley's grave here. I also came here when they had the moon exhibition which was cool to look at. Nice to walk through the church grounds when going to the town centre as you avoid the roads. There is a cafe inside although I didn't go to it.... Nice 👍

B. R.

In the town centre. Friendly church, always there to help the community & homeless. Had the Moon visit them! Was magnificent! A clever man gave a talk about the Moon & answered questions. Parishioners serve tea & cake for a reasonable cost

M. W.

St Peters is a lively space in central Bournemouth. Always supportive of the arts, music and welcomes many people every year. Always a main feature of Bournemouth Arts By The Sea in the autumn.

P.

Grand and blessed🙌🏻 highly recommended if you're visiting the town.

H.

Lovely big Church and sometimes you find gathering for free tea & coffee.

Lovely place in the heart of Bournemouth. The resting place for a number of known figures like Mary Shelley and her family. Only downside is there is often rubbish left around the grounds.

C.

Good service with relevant content. The rector seems quite a live wire. Typical slightly reserved Anglican congregation. But, to be fair, I didn't stay for coffee. They would probably have been more forthcoming if I had. The church is beautiful.

B. S.

Very nice central church, quiet but having rest stop & open door. Was pleasant to view & visit

a. l.

Bournemouth town centre, mary shelley grave, if like Frankenstein is nice to check

M. D.

Stunning. Has to be one of the most beautiful churches I have ever visited. Great art work inside. Sit, be still and notice how calming it all is.

J. S.

Dorset Moon exhibition excellent

J. L.

Very beautiful church. A place of peace in a noisy seaside town.

M. W.

Called localy 'Mary Shelley Church' is sort of highligit in Bournemouth and all this mystery story plus tomb of the author on cemetery grounds makes a thrill, especially when U go there after dark. Besides that nothing special of architectural point

J. G.

This is a really nice church they have regular concerts in the week on an afternoon which are great, plus there is a good coffee shop in side.

(Translated) Very beautiful, well-kept church. She is acting. Interestingly, in the cemetery behind the temple is the grave of the famous English writer Mary Shelley, who wrote the novel "Frankenstein." (Original) Очень красивая, ухоженная церковь. Она действующая. Интересно, что на кладбище за храмом расположена могила известной английской писательницы Мэри Шелли, которая написала роман "Фрэкенштейн".

(Translated) For Poles, especially Poles from the 50th generation, plus a culture shock. Play area for children in the church ... (Original) Dla Polaka, a Polki zwłaszcza z pokolenia 50 plus szok kulturowy. Miejsce zabaw dla dzieci w kościele...

S. S.

(Translated) Very beautiful church. The thing that struck me the most was the angel that covers Jude, apostles who betrayed Jesus. The thing that stunned me negatively was: 1) The living room 2) The modular kitchen. In a sacred place, this is not good! (Original) Chiesa molto bella. La cosa che mi ha colpito di più è stato l'angelo che copre Giuda, apostoli che ha tradito Gesù. La cosa che mi ha sbalordita negativamente sono stati: 1) Il salotto 2) La cucina componibile. In un luogo Sacro, questo non va bene!

(Translated) average..i was there trying to see Mary Shelley's but there were no trace of her..very beautiful the church inside beautiful, I was looking for something that would show me where Mary Shelley's grave was but I couldn't find it, I was type 5 or 6 pm there was no one to guide me ... I recommend going there as a Catholic and as who likes architecture (Original) average..i was there trying to see Mary Shelley's but there were no trace of her..muy linda la iglesia por dentro hermosa, estuve buscando algo que me indicara donde estaba la tumba de Mary Shelley pero no lo encontre, fui tipo 5 o 6 pm no habia nadie quien me orientara...recomiendo ir alli como catolico y como a quien le gusta la arquitectura
