The Church of St Peter is the Church of England parish church of the village of Shaldon, Devon. Designed by Edmund Harold Sedding, and with later additions by William Douglas Caröe, it is a Grade I listed building.
The original parish church for the parish of Shaldon was St Nicholas, Ringmore, a small chapel of ease to the west of the village. In the very late 19th century, and in response to the increasing population of Shaldon, the ecclesiastical authorities determined to build a new church on the foreshore in the centre of the village. Their chosen architect was Edmund Harold Sedding, son of the notable West Country church architect, Edmund Sedding, and himself a prolific restorer of churches throughout Devon and Cornwall. St Peter's is one of the few, completely new, church buildings Sedding designed. The church was constructed between 1893 and 1902. In 1932 W. D. Caroe was engaged to add buttresses to the exterior of the building.[1]
Regular services are held.[2]
Nikolaus Pevsner described St Peter's as "a superlative example of Arts & Crafts inventiveness". The church is listed at Grade I as a building of exceptional interest. It is notable for its organ.[3]
