History

The original parish church for the parish of Shaldon was St Nicholas, Ringmore, a small chapel of ease to the west of the village.Шаблон:Sfn In the very late 19th century, and in response to the increasing population of Shaldon, the ecclesiastical authorities determined to build a new church on the foreshore in the centre of the village. Their chosen architect was Edmund Harold Sedding, son of the notable West Country church architect, Edmund Sedding, and himself a prolific restorer of churches throughout Devon and Cornwall. St Peter's is one of the few, completely new, church buildings Sedding designed.Шаблон:Sfn The church was constructed between 1893 and 1902.[1] In 1932 W. D. Caroe was engaged to add buttresses to the exterior of the building.[2]

Regular services are held.[3]
