Nice picture of Preston Manor, with St Peter's sneaking in.

We’re an 800 year old ‘redundant’ church, but last night there was clearly a lot of life happening in our space. 🎭

[Esther Gill @Esther_Gill]

A small team of actors, atmospheric space, creative staging. Last night I sank into the dark love story of Cathy & Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights performed by @thisismytheatre. Brilliant.

(Had to come home & listen to Kate Bush - also brilliant).

[Esther Gill @Esther_Gill]

#Brighton people, fantastic theatre company, bringing Wuthering Heights to St Peter’s, Preston Park, this Thursday. 👇

[St Peter's, Preston Park @StPetersPP]

In 1170, Thomas Becket was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral. St Peter’s has one of the oldest surviving wall paintings of the bloody deed, but our lights don’t do it justice.

The Light Up campaign is raising funds to improve the lights.
Every £ helps.

A grey morning, but the Churchyard is full of snowdrops. Spring is springing.

[St Peter's, Preston Park @StPetersPP]

Great to catch-up & share ideas with other @TheCCT Sussex churches yesterday. And as @Esther_Gill says 👇, it’s cool inside a stone church! Come & see us - open to 3pm every day.

[Esther Gill @Esther_Gill]

On hot days, retreat inside your local stone church. Calm & cool yesterday inside the beautiful 13th century Warminghurst Church for a meeting with @TheCCT about the ‘redundant’ Sussex Churches, which includes my local: St Peter’s, Preston Park (also cool inside!).

[St Peter's, Preston Park @StPetersPP]

Thank you to all the cake bakers, tea pourers, table clearers, washer-uppers, musicians, everybody who came & @BrightonMorris for making our #PlatinumJubilee tea party such a fun afternoon. 👏
