Whether you are a visitor to the town or a visitor to the website we hope that you will find in these pages what you need.
If you are able to visit in person we hope that you will find in our church space, beauty, a lively faith, and a deep sense of the presence of God.
We have a visitors’ book in church and we’ve attached a visitors’ book to the site so that you can tell us what you think of what you find here. We would like to know!

Welcome

One of the comments most often repeated in the visitors’ book in church is that people find Aldeburgh Parish Church beautiful and that it has a rich and prayerful atmosphere.
St Peter & St Paul is on the east coast of Suffolk and looks out to sea. It is rich in history, and there is a magnificent window by John Piper in memory of Benjamin Britten. We are the home church of the internationally famous Aldeburgh Festival. We have a very good ring of bells in our 14th century tower. We encourage the creative arts and we carry regular news in Pew News. See too our concerts page. Our site contains a Vicar’s blog and several videos. Music is central to our life and worship. Our regular round of Christian worship is at the heart of who we are and you are welcome to join us whenever you wish.
The open door to your left is the entrance door of our south porch. For almost 500 years generations of visitors and worshippers have come through it to find God. These pages are both an introduction and an invitation to explore.
