Creating a Christian Timeline for Addingham.
Revealing the Hidden Heritage of St. Peter’s Church and its environs
St. Peter’s Church in Addingham has been a Christian site since Saxon times. Archbishop Wulfhere of York fled here for sanctuary in AD867 when the Vikings invaded that city. Over eighty graves of our Saxon-age ancestors were discovered during three archaeological digs between 1998-2006 .
In July 2006 the chuch was awarded a grant of £24 942 by The Local Heritage Initiative / Heritage Lottery Fund to enable it to explore and celebrate our Christian Heritage and the part it plays in our village and regional life. The Addingham Civic Society, the Olicana Historical Society and Addingham Parish Council all gave their active support to achieve the aims of creating a Christian Time-Line for Addingham.
