Welcome to St. Peters church in the village of Byers Green.
We are a warm and friendly church and our Priest-in-charge Barbara Hilton is always around with a warm handshake and a kind smile. Our Churchwardens, Margaret Gilson and Janet Bell, are always on hand to welcome you and show you to a comfortable seat. So why not come and see us? We can promise a tea or coffee after the services. Of course children (and well-behaved dogs) are always welcome.
Safeguarding
Our parish of St Peter's, Byers Green is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Durham’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact our PSO Mrs Juliet King (01388 605614) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Mrs Beth Miller (07968 034075). If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
