They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
God of love,
We pray for your Spirit of peace to move in our communities,
that those who are targets of hate might be safe
and that people of good will might work together in love and respect.
We pray for your Spirit of healing,
that those who grieve, might be comforted
and those who are injured might be made well.
We pray for your Spirit of hope,
that those who despair might see a way ahead
and those who live in fear might find sanctuary and freedom.
Soften the hearts of those motivated by hate
and help us all to love our neighbours as those made in your image.
In Christ’s name.
Amen

Welcome to our Church
Home of the famous Medieval Wall Paintings
St Peter and St Paul’s is a living Church, part of the Church of England Diocese of York. We have a large and active congregation, who continue a thousand year old tradition of prayer and worship.
The Church is also popular with couples wanting marriage or baptism for their children; it is well used by the town for civic and community occasions and concerts, and provides a real focal point for Ryedale. Its extensive medieval wall paintings also make it a wonderful source of enjoyment for pilgrims and visitors from all over the world.
The Church is open daily from 9am until 4pm during the winter months. (9-5 during British Summer Time) It is a space of great peace, valued by many who seek to draw closer to God in public worship or private prayer. So once you have explored this website, come and explore for yourself, this ‘House of God and gate of heaven’.
Access to the church is via two doors on the south side of the building. The main entrance is via some steps (shown on one of the old postcards below) which have hand rails to either side. Further along the building there is a ramp access with accessibility door push button, for those who find steps difficult. There is a level access from Hallgarth, through a passageway, which avoids the steps from the Market Place and Smiddy Hill. (see aerial photograph below)
Pickering Benefice is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expects all to share in this commitment. Our standards of practice ensure all are fully aware of and understand their responsibilities under safeguarding legislation and statutory guidance which includes criminal record checks.
Our Parish Safeguarding Policy, in keeping with the new Church of England guidelines is in place, having been ratified by the vicar and approved by the PCC. A copy has been forwarded to the Diocesan Office and a copy of the full Policy is available on request.
Our Parish Safeguarding Representative, who also represents the benefice parishes of Marishes, Lockton and Levisham can be contacted for Safeguarding issues on [email protected]. Our policy and other Safeguarding information is available here. Please do contact her if you have any concerns. Alternatively you may contact the Diocese of York Safeguarding Team on 01904 699524 or [email protected].
We would like to thank everyone who allowed us to use their photographs for our website.
