St. Peter’s Church in Addingham  has been a Christian site since Saxon times. Archbishop Wulfhere of York fled here for sanctuary in AD867 when the Vikings invaded that city, and we have recently discovered more graves of our Saxon-age ancestors here. We want to celebrate all our Christian Heritage down the years and the part it plays in our village and regional life, and, with the active support of Addingham Civic Society, the Olicana Historical Society and Addingham Parish Council, we have been awarded an Local Heritage Initiative grant of £25,000 to achieve this aim by the creation of a Christian Time-Line in Addingham

Do  read on to find out what this means, what is happening, and how you can be part of it - and please do come and pay us a visit – there will always be a welcome for you at St. Peter’s!
