View SE of the exterior of St Peter's and St Paul's Church, Albury Park, Surrey, England, UK. The Norman tower centrally placed between the chancel (L) & nave (R) was built around 1140 on the base of a Saxon chancel. The shingled cupola was in place by 1758 after a tapering shingled spire collapsed in the early 1700s. The cupola is wood shingled, leaded & topped by a metal finial. The nave may be Saxon in origin but much altered since the C14th when its south aisle was added. The chancel & S transept were added to the tower in the C13th. The timbered north porch was added to the nave in the early C16th. Inside the church there is a C15th painting of St Christopher on the S wall of the aisle. The church was once at the heart of the village but the inhabitants were made to move to the hamlet of Weston Street (now Albury) by the estate owner the Hon. William Clement Finch , who enclosed the park & re-routed roads running through it in 1784/5. The church featured (Carrie and Hamish's wedding) in the 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral
