Church & Town
For over 850 years, St. Peter’s Church has been at the heart of Burnley.
Its Heritage Centre opened in 2003, telling the story of the Church and its place in the history of the town and its’ inhabitants. This website contains a selection of features from the centre.
The church itself is usually open for visitors between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Fridays.
