St Peter's Church Redevelopment

St Peter's Church is a Grade II listed building [1219326] at the corner of Whitehart Street and King Street in Thetford. It is no longer used as a church, and has been owned by Thetford Town Council since 2009.

The tower of St Peter's Church, Thetford, taken in October 2011.

The building was previously leased to the community group Inspire Focus for use as a community hub, but this ceased around 2019.

In 2018 a grant of £38,000 was awarded to complete urgent repair work on the building.

In October 2020, plans were announced for major repair work to be carried out on the building, part-funded by the Town Council. Other funding would be sought from Historic England.
