St Mary's Church, New Road, Peterborough, 20/11/1991. St Mary's Church viewed from the south-west at dusk, with lights illuminating the tower and glazed porch. Construction of St Mary’s Church began in 1989 and was completed in 1991. The church was built on the site of the former Church of St Mary the Virgin, a mid-19th century parish church which had fallen into disrepair. The land on which the original church stood was sold and a new development known as Churchgate was built: community facilities, offices and a modern church. Original features, including the clock, stained glass, and stones in the arch around the new oak entrance doors, were retained from the former church.
