Origins

St Peters Church is thought to have been founded by Mercian Earl Leofric, husband to Lady Godiva, in Saxon Times.

Worfield was probably a logical place to build a Church as the area had so many caves and wells which were important spiritually to Pagan Saxons. Wells were believed to have magical powers & history books refer to St Peters well in Worfield. The exact location of the well is uncertain, with two sites, one in the Churchyard to the west of the Church and one on the west side of the road 150 metres north of the Church, being put forward as possibilities.
