St Giles
Codicote, Hertfordshire
Our listed church is over 910 years old with many Arts & Crafts decorative items, family histories and memorials, and a great welcome for everyone.
St Peter’s is within the Broadwater neighbourhood of the 1950s new town of Stevenage.
It is identified as a Building of Local Importance in the Broadwater Conservation Area. It was designed by NF Cachemaille-Day and Partners and built in 1954. We are a Church of England church of all ages of around 70 adults plus 20 children worshipping every Sunday. During the week we run several activities for the community such as a thriving Toddler Group on a Friday morning and a drop in for the elderly on a Monday afternoon. On Tuesday mornings we operate a food bank, working with the deprived members of the community. The church is also used by the wider community on other occasions.
We have good links with local schools who come into the church for special events such as harvest, Christmas and Easter and class visits. The church hall is used by the local community for a number of different types of events such as dance classes, Slimming World, martial arts and exercise classes, parties etc.
