Tour of St Peters Church Berkhamsted

St Peter's Church was consecrated in 1222, probably the second largest church in the county, reflecting the importance of the wool trade at the time. Many interesting tombs showing the importance of the castle and families who influenced the history of the town. The Court House is Tudor and was where courts of common pleas were heard and weights and measures checked. It housed the National School in the 19th century and is now used as a church hall. The Church has many other interesting memorials and two windows dedicated to the poet William Cowper, whose father was Rector here.
