A Grade I listed Georgian church familiarly known as Sowerby St Peter's. The principle features have remained unchanged from the time of its construction in 1766. The plasterwork in the church has been quoted as being 'unmatchable elsewhere in the county' and more recently as 'one of the most elegant...in the North of England', yet this handsome building is little known outside its parish. The plasterwork is attributed to Giuseppe Cortes who was also responsible for the plasterwork in Somerset House, Halifax. The interior church scene in Gentleman Jack episode two was filmed at St Peter's Take this opportunity to look at the war memorials from the Crimean War to present day. The local Woolly Arts club will display their work including heritage of textiles. Listen to organ music during the open periods. The organists are local, and it is hoped to show case some of the younger organists from the region. Our current church burial records will be available during the opening times.
