Church of St Peter and St Paul

This is a splendid, well cared for and well run parish church which is a must see place when visiting Pickering. The large porch is a wonderful place to sit and watch the comings and goings. I was very impressed with the tidy and informative notice boards, an excellent example to other churches. Inside are magnificent wall paintings. These medieval frescoes, completed over 500 years ago, are worthy of study and there is an informative illustrative booklet for purchase. There is a quiet area to light a candle, and to sit and pray. The best time to visit is when there is a service and details are provided about that. We shall certainly return when we are next on holiday here.

In the beautiful town of pickering can be found this church with some of the finest medieval Wall art in the country. At various times it has been whitewashed over and then uncovered. Now restored to its original glory.
There are also windows and tombs of interest but your eyes will be co sta try drawn upwards to the are. Truly breathtaking

The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul is a must see, it is a pretty church, just off the centre of Pickering. Once inside the recovered illustrations on the walls give some indication of how churches used to be. Wonderful.

Impressive murals and a sense of tranquility therein

A beautiful church, some parts are Norman, there is stunning paintings on the inside wall of the church. It is a must see if you're in Pickering.

This is a lovely historic church and a must to visit. From the historic paintings that adorn the internal walls, the old wooden ceiling, stained glass windows and other artifacts. Not being morbid but also fascinating to see/read some of the 18th century grave stones and the eerie 'forgotten souls' at the back of the graveyard most I hazard a guess of how old most bearing no inscription.....Bless.

My families first visit to the beautiful church of St Peter and St Paul for my granddaughters Christening. Wonderful surroundings, and a special thank you to the Vicar who made us all so welcome and hosted an enjoyable, meaningful service with loads of fun. Wish I lived in Pickering I would love to regularly attend this church😊

What an absolutely stunning church! A little bit hard to find, but well worth the hunt. Hidden away in a lovely little quiet nook of Pickering.
