The Church consists of a nave with a bellcote and short chancel.

The walls are of coursed lias stone. The roof is slate with cable copings.

The bellcote to the West gable has set-offs and a cross over.

The main door is in the West gable end and has a two centred arch which is chamfered, as are the jambs.

This is a double door with ornamental strap hinges and there is a light stone mullioned window with plate tracery above it, and a trefoil stone window above that.

The side walls have four pointed arch windows with straight chamfers.

 

The church is officially designated as a Chapel of Ease and was erected in the 1860's to meet the needs of the Broadoak working community.

St. Peter's, Eype, is a Daughter Church to St. John the Baptist, the Parish Church of Symondsbury. Consecrated on 25th August 1865 it has always been too large for its congregation but whilst it remains a church first and foremost, nowadays it is also used as an arts venue. However, it is still consecrated, with regular Holy Communion and Evensong services and the occasional baptism or funeral. It is classified as a Chapel-at-Ease and therefore does not have a licence to hold wedding services but is available for renewal of marriage vows and marriage blessings. It is a wonderful setting for such an occasion, on the hill overlooking the sea. 

We are part of the Eggardon and Colmers Benefice (previously The United Benefice of Askerswell, Loders, Powerstock and Symondsbury), consisting of 4 parishes with 8 churches, all led by one Priest, the Reverend Chris Grasske. We have 2 Lay Worship Leaders and 2 Lay Pastoral Assistants helping to lead services over the Benefice.
