Churches in Havenstreet and Ashey Parish

St Peter

Church Road, Havenstreet Havenstreet Ryde

St Peter's.  Many strands of village life in Havenstreet - school, post office, shops - have now gone, but our parish church of St. Peter remains. It is a place where local people have worshipped, prayed, been baptised, married and buried since it was built in 1852. It holds and keeps alive the social memory of the parish.

We have a service every Sunday and on the first Sunday of the month, we have Evensong.  At Christmas, we have carol services and the church is full of people and looks beautiful with all the candles.  The acoustic in the church is lovely and enhances the music.  

We have weddings, baptisms and funerals.  All are very welcome and we would be happy to discuss this with you to arrange a suitable time.
