- Albury, Surrey (Church of St Peter & St Paul)
This charming, ancient church, dating from Saxon and Norman times, is a flint-walled gem, set amongst the trees of beautiful Albury Park above the gently running River Tilling. It is full of contrasts and surprises. Inside, you'll find:
Another highlight is the South Chapel - this was remodelled by renowned Victorian architect A.W. Pugin, responsible for the interior of the Palace of Westminster.
He used his rich and colourful style here to create a dazzling mortuary chapel for Albury Park's Drummond family - this is lavishly decorated, with stained glass, painted walls and ceiling, and a magnificent tiled floor.
Visiting in the spring when the blooming snowdrops carpet the churchyard with colour is a treat.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Grass path to church. One small step over porch lintel then large step down into church. Drummond Chapel locked but viewable through screen.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

This church is tied to my family by geneology. There are ancient family members supposed to be buried in the graveyard. We traveled to England from the US in 1992. After leaving the airport this was the first stop on our visit. The church wasn't open but I went next door and a man went and got a key from one of the "ladies" who was at breakfeast. He opened the church and left us to spend all the time we wanted touring. We had a lot on our schedule and couldn't do it justice...but it was so exciting. The key was HUGE.....the place impressive and the setting just lovely. I want to go back one day and go through the graveyard. At the time it was quite overgrown with weeds. Thank you for sharing all the information on this historic place.
this church starred in Four Weddings and a Funeral! It was the Scottish church
I am lucky enough to live not far from this lovely old church and visit it several times a year,glad to say that the churchyard seems to be kept in good order and spring is full of snowdrops.
We have visited over 150 of the CCT churches and this ranks among the best. Don't forget to visit the nearby Parish church to see the other half of the Roman font.
Having just discovered and joined the C.C.T. I was rather keen to visit a church or two. The first one was the old Albury Parish church and I was absolutely stunned by the sheer beauty of the church and its setting. I found that the grass is not cut that often to allow the flowers time to bloom and show off their splendour and this they did despite the late spring start. It won't be the last time I visit this church as it has made a lasting impression on me.
