RESIDENTS are being given the chance to come and explore a historic church and churchyard in Redditch.

A special open event is being held at St. Peters Church in Ipsley from Monday, August 28 until Friday, September 1 from 10am until 4pm.

There are three stunning depictions of St. Peter in the Church, a stained glass window, an etched doorway and a attractive banner.

Visitors will be encouraged to look at these in detail and discover further information about St. Peter, who he was and what he achieved.

There will also be fun activities for children, boat building, and fishing.

Tea and coffee will be served with homemade cakes.

For more on the event, which is free, call the church office on 01527 516351.
