Beautiful church. St Peter's Church is a Church of England parish church located in the centre of Bournemouth, Dorset, England. It is a Grade I listed building classed as a 'major parish church', and was completed in 1879 to a design by George Edmund Street as the founding mother church of Bournemouth. The building incorporates work by some of the finest Gothic Revival architects and artists, including Street, George Frederick Bodley, Ninian Comper, Arthur Blomfield and Edward Burne-Jones, with stained glass and frescoes by Clayton and Bell. The chancel has been described as 'one of the richest Gothic Revival interiors in England'.[1] The 202-foot (62 m)-high spire is a landmark in Bournemouth's centre, where it is the Town Centre Parish Church, together with the churches of St Stephen and...

My main reason for visiting was to see Mary Shelley’s grave. It’s not immediately obvious, but if you head up the stairs in the graveyard, you’ll find it. Thanks to tips from other reviews, I had no trouble locating it.

If you’re in Bournemouth and enjoy a bit of literary history, I’d definitely recommend...
