The original St Peter's Church was opened in 1846.

 

The impetus for the building of the church was the migration of a number of high profile members of the Anglican Church to the Roman Catholic Church under the influence of the convert Cardinal Newman.

 

One of those followers was Charles Scott Murray, sometime Conservative MP for Buckinghamshire, a well-connected and wealthy man, who in gratitude for his new found faith decided to build a church in Marlow, the first new Catholic Church to be built in the county of Buckinghamshire since the Reformation.

 

He employed one of the greatest nineteenth century architects, Augustus Welby Pugin, another eminent convert and the designer of the interior of the rebuilt House of Parliament. St Peter’s old church is recognised as a small masterpiece and is a Grade II listed building.

 

Address: 7 St Peter Street, Marlow, SL7 1NQ
