Interior, Ss Mary & Peter church, Wilmington
The church of St Mary the Virgin and St Peter is grade I listed.
12th Century with a 13th C. north chapel, the chancel served a small Priory which is still partly standing to the south. Nave and chancel remodelled in 14-15th C. There was the usual restoration in the 19th C.
The Church contains an interesting "Bee and Butterfly" stained glass window.
On Sunday 21st July 2002 the Church suffered a severe fire which destroyed the north Transept (Vestry), the "Bee and Butterfly" window and the Victorian Organ. Extensive heat, smoke and water damage occurred in the rest of the Church. Since then a major restoration has taken place and the Church was rededicated by the Right Reverend John Hind, Bishop of Chichester on the 4th of January 2004 at a celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
