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 St Augustine.

This church is stunning, with beautifully detailed décor and a unique, peaceful atmosphere. Free to visit but donations welcome. I visited just as Mass was about to begin, so I didn’t feel it was appropriate to take any photos—but the interior is well worth seeing in person. 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 stopping by.

Came here at the model of the moon was on display. The moon itself was pretty cool but the church is a piece of amazing architecture. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, and I believe Mary Shelly is buried in the ground also if you are in to that sort of history. Local parking nearby and not far away from the centre of town or the beach.

This church is amazing once you come inside. Also so many interesting people that are buried in the church yard. Came to visit Mary Shelley family grave stone who was an English novelist who wrote the Gothic novel Frankenstein. Definitely worth a visit with a very short walk from the town centre.

I came here to visit Mary Shelly’s gravesite, and as I grew up with Frankenstein. The church is really beautiful, but the cemetery is kept in good condition It's a good stop super worthwhile vist the church to. They do so much here including feeding the homeless.
