The original St Peter's Church was built in the 1950s as a wooden hall further up Baldwin Road than the present church. Then most of Greatstone was shingle and sand dunes, with only a few houses, a railway station, and a holiday camp that had started just after the Second World War. The present building was opened in 1962 by Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury. The shape of the building is intended to reflect the shape of a boat.
