About Us
St Peter’s was built in 1837, with a chancel extension in the 1870s and it is an interesting example of the typical early Victorian “barn” churches.  Both the church and the wall and ramp that lead up to it are listed buildings and form an important architectural focus in Church Bay.  The Churchyard is an important corridor for wild life in the area and we have recently had the help of Outward Bound to sympathetically regain access to it!
There is a very interesting and unusual stained glass East window based on Matt 25:35-end, which is by Ward & Hughes, 1873 Also we have a South East window by David Evans 1837 and the Cancel South window is by Powell 1890

CHURCH BAY ABERDYFI

St Peter’s has a carillion, a chime of ten bells in the key of A flat, specially commissioned to enable the well-known folk tune ‘The Bells of Aberdyfi’ to be played, as well as any other tunes and hymns.  It was installed in September 1936.  It is played by pushing down the levers, a bit like playing the xylophone and over the last year or two an enthusiastic band of ringers have taken turns in delighting the village.  Many cards and e-mails have been received thanking the ringers for providing visitors with so much pleasure.
