The ancient building of St Peter's is one of three beautiful, holy, historic churches that have served the local communities making up the modern-day Parish of ASCAT for centuries. The other churches are St Barthomew's in Albourne and Christ Church in Sayers Common. Saint Peter's is a rural church at the end of a lane surrounded by fields and next to the small Church Primary School. The Church was built in 1516 and is reputed to be the first brick-built Church in Sussex. The tower contains 5 bells and they are rung before the Sung Eucharist on the 4th Sunday of the month.
These churches are sacred spaces where heaven and earth have met in Christian worship, prayer and fellowship since Norman times. They have been places of celebration and solace; of marking the rites of passage of life; and of countless generations meeting with God in private prayer and public worship.

ASCAT is an inclusive parish that believes in a church which does not discriminate, on any level, on grounds of economic power, gender, mental health, physical ability, race or sexuality. We believe in Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ
