St. Peter's Church, Nottingham

St Peter's Church is one of the three medieval parish churches in Nottingham. The parish of Saint James' Church, Standard Hill, founded in 1807 was united with Saint Peter's in 1933 and the official title "St Peter with Saint James" came into being. (Saint James's was demolished a few years later; some monuments from Saint James's are preserved in Saint Peter's). The church shows traces of many stages of construction from about 1180 onwards (the original church of around 1100 was destroyed by fire).

Saint Peter's is home to a flourishing musical tradition. The church boasts a new organ, a fine choir, and a popular series of Saturday morning concerts. The Organist & Director of Music since 2007 is Peter Siepmann. There is a long-standing choral tradition at Saint Peter's, developed by musicians such as Vincent Trivett (Organist 1906-1947) and Kendrick Partington (Organist 1957-1994). Today, the choir can be heard singing in church every Sunday, as well as in frequent concert performances.

The first organ since the Commonwealth period was installed by Lincoln in 1812. This was enlarged by Lloyd and Dudgeon in 1863 and has been adapted and restored several times since by E. Wragg & Son, Henry Willis & Sons and Hill, Norman & Beard. In 1952, much of the organ of Saint Columba, Mansfield Road was incorporated into the Saint Peter's instrument.
