St Peter's church,High Street, Marlborough
The church became redundant in the 1970s. Since then it has found a new lease of life as a craft centre and coffee shop. The tower is open to accompanied visits on Saturdays and BH Mondays between Easter and mid October (around the time of the Mop fairs). All it costs is £2! The views are excellent.

St Peter's church,High Street, Marlborough
No longer used as a church, the building is now home to a craft centre and coffee shop. The tower can be climbed (inside) to the roof every Saturday and Bank Holiday Monday from Easter to mid-October. Good value at £2.00. The turret on the far right is subtly different from its three neighbours. For an explanation see this image: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/460747

St Peter's church,High Street, Marlborough - graffito
This reads 'Thomas Young 1610'. It might look like 16010 but the centre character is said to be a representation of the Holy Trinity. Thomas Young is believed to have been a priest here. The church itself dates in its present form to 1460.

St Peter's church,High Street, Marlborough - putlog hole
When the church was built, wooden beams were used as internal scaffolding. The ends of the beams were placed in openings like this and were left in case they were needed for future maintenance purposes. The term 'putlog' is self-explanatory and is still in use today even though modern scaffolding now uses metal tubes rather than timber.
