I guess it's something to do with being built on a rock? Peter = Rock in Hebrew or something like that...
wasn't Peter the closest to Jesus?
Coincidence ??
Lots of churches built on hilltops, lost of churches called St P's.....
Cheers Mb, that was my guess, too.
It was countered with "hills in England aren't that rocky" In the absence of any other explanations, I shall tell them to swivel.
sorry hd and MrN, hadn't seen your replies when I posted. Still think the rock explanation makes the most sense, though.
Pierre is a masculine given name. It is a French form of the name Peter[1] (it can also be a surname and a place name). Pierre originally means "rock" or "stone" in French (derived from the Greek word "petros" meaning "stone, rock", via Latin "petra").
seem to vaguely remember a kids nursery rhyme about this too... mentions a few different church names; st pauls, st peters, etc
There's a St Peter's in Brackley at the bottom of a hill, and talking to my Catholic Irish friend in the office in her opinion, "Yer talking bollocks there, son"
The church at the top of the hill near where I grew up is a St Michael's. And no, I do not mean M&S
Because he could see Jesus' house from up there ?
The St. Peter's (CoE) nearest my house is at the top of a hill, the St. Peter's (RC) next to my son's primary school is at the bottom of a hill 😯
st peters in brighton is in a valley.
