ABOUT US
Our church
St Peter-in-Ely is a small Church of England church on Broad Street in Ely, a short walk from Ely railway station and the town centre. It was opened in 1890 to serve Ely’s riverside district.
We are a traditional Anglican church and our sung services usually include a number of well-loved hymns sung by the congregation, accompanied by the organ. Once a month we are joined by our choir, St Peter’s Singers.
St Peter’s is a friendly community, with a congregation of all ages from around Ely, neighbouring villages and beyond. Everyone is most welcome at our services, whatever your beliefs, and whether you want to join in or simply have some time for quiet reflection.
The church is unusual for being a Proprietary Chapel, one of the few remaining in the Church of England today.
