The Building
St. Peter & St. Paul’s is the ancient Parish Church of Grays Thurrock. The building is ‘Grade II Listed’ and is an expression of nearly 1,000 years of Christian belief and worship within the community of Grays. The earliest parts of the present building are thought to have been built around 1100AD and in the years that have followed it has been much altered and extended.
The most recent alteration was a major reordering and repair programme which took place during the spring and summer of 2008. Following the closure of the building for six months, the church reopened in September 2008 and has since won a number of design and architecture awards as an outstanding example of church reordering. The building is now accessible, warm, bright, comfortable and welcoming together with modern toilet and kitchen servery facilities.
The church is a very popular location for Weddings, Baptisms and concerts, seating up to 250 people. Enquiries should be made to the Rector.
