With their long histories St Oswald’s and St Lawrence’s churches have been serving the parishes of Lower Peover and Over Peover for centuries. Throughout that time, the have been the spiritual home of many people, and not just those living in the immediate neighbourhoods.
They still fulfil that role today, peaceful havens in an ever busier world. As a Grade 1 listed buildings they enjoy a settings of particular importance. But ever increasing costs mean that we can no longer take our churches for granted. Contrary to what many people think, churches do not get any support from the state and buildings such as St Oswald’s and St Lawrence’s are hugely expensive to maintain.

We do, therefore rely on donations to keep our churches open.
