66. St Peter’s, Leamington



A second year of visits starts with a church I always thought would be in the first ten. Strangely I’ve never been inside St Peter’s in Leamington although it’s been a background and landmark to so many years. 

The telling of the story of Epiphany takes me right back to the same time a year ago. I’m glad to be keeping up the pilgrimage - there are so many places I’d really like to visit and the curiosity is still there. 

Other than being the start of the second year, there’s not a lot to note about this communion service. St Peter’s is spectacular inside. It’s very light and very large despite not being blessed with massive windows. The service is well attended and features quite the most resolutely flat singing of a psalm I’ve yet encountered. Perhaps it’s too early in the year and things need to warm up.
