St Peter’s Church in Berkhamsted held its 800th anniversary festival on Sunday (June 26).
The church hosted a selection of events which started with a special patronal service that celebrated St Peter’s Day.
The celebrations saw the St Peter’s welcome back its previous rector the Very Reverend Mark Bonney, Dean of Ely.
The event raised money to support St Peter’s building fund to help preserve it for the next 800 years and for the Mayor of Dacorum’s charity and Bishop of St Alban’s Appeal.
