Welcome to

THE PARISH CHURCH
OF
ST SAVIOUR
AND
ST PETER

By the middle of the nineteenth century, Eastbourne
was a growing town, noted for its healthy climate. In
1849 the railway arrived. An increasing number of
people were visiting for an extended summer stay or
choosing to live here.

The 7th Duke of Devonshire, who owned much of
the land in the area had started to lay out a new
town to the south and west of what is now the Old
Town. The old Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin
was some distance from the new residential areas
and new churches were needed. Keen to develop
the established Church of England the Vicar of
Eastbourne, with the financial support of Harriott
Manby and George Whelpton, sought to build a new
church on land provided by the Duke of Devonshire.

Work began in 1865 on designs by George Edmund
Street, an eminent architect of his day who had
designed the Law Courts in the Strand in London,
the American Cathedral in Paris as well as many
other churches. He was also architect for the
Diocese of Oxford. The church was completed in
1866 and the present building was consecrated
by the Bishop of Chichester as ‘St Saviour’s’ ie. the
Church of the Holy Saviour on 31st January 1867,
within the ancient parish of St Mary the Virgin.

REMINDER! New Car Park permits

The new Car Park permits are now in use. Please see Steve and get your new 'electrostatic'
permit (you peel the front plastic film off and they stick to your windscreen without adhesive and
peel off with no residue), by signing-up or renewing your parking subscription.

This year we have introduced a fixed minimum charge of £45.00 for a Congregation permit.
You may, of course, pay more at your discretion if you feel that you are able – the real value of town-
centre parking is far more than the ‘cover price’ of the permit. There are also numbered permits for both
Car Parks for the reserved spaces to help us monitor usage and any abuses.

asked me afterwards, ‘what’s the secret of a

it’s no secret. It’s all about those traditions. At
Christmastime we want to return to the familiar.
We like to sing those carols and to listen to those
passages from scripture that we have heard so
many times before. It’s all about ‘the story.’ The
difficulty is that new carols need to be introduced
without ‘threatening’ those traditions. Failure to
do this would mean that it becomes nothing more
than a museum piece.

So, here it is, Merry Christmas. everybody’s Thank you to all who made it the best carol
