"I was glad when they said unto me, we will go into the house of the Lord"

Dear Friends

Welcome to the website of St Peter and St Paul’s Church in the Suffolk town of Eye. Our beautiful and ancient church building was erected to reflect the glory of the triune God and facilitate our worship of him. For the last 150 years or so Eye Church has embraced and upheld the Anglo-catholic tradition of the Church of England in worship, in teaching and in belief and worship. I serve the parish as a priest of “The Society” under the patronage of St Wilfrid and St Hilda, therefore providing ministry and sacraments that can confidently be received by all.

All blessings

The Rev’d Dr Guy Sumpter
