St Peter by the Waterfront

St Peter's is mentioned in the Domesday Survey in 1086, suggesting that there was a church on this site then. The current building dates from the 15th century and was taken over by Cardinal Wolsey to become his College chapel and the parishioners had to either go to the neighbouring St Nicholas or St Mary Quay. Wolsey ordered several improvements to St Peter's but when he fell from grace the parishioners got their church back in 1537.
