Building on the church began during the 12th century and it has been the centre of religious life of the village for over 800 years.

The church has close associations with Bardney Abbey, a Benedictine monastery founded in 697 by King Ethelred of Mercia.

A Methodist Society was formed in Bardney as early as 1788, 44 years after John Wesley's first conference.

St Peter's was designed by famous Victorian architect, Hodgson Fowler and although only just over a hundred years old it already has an interesting history.

The church has been dated to the 15th century, with the nave and chancel possibly of an earlier date.

The first Methodist church in Woodhall Spa was built in 1899 before which worshippers had to go to the chapel at nearby hamlet of Kirkstead.

A jigsaw church of many periods, from Anglo Saxon to Victorian, the conspicuous herringbone masonry of the chancel walls probably dates from before 1066, whilst the round arched doorway is perhaps only a little later.

With its stark white walls and impressive high dome the outside of this building tempts visitors to explore further.

Aldham church is sometimes referred to as the church that was moved.

St Edward the Confessor is a Grade II Listed church built in 1860-2 by John Dobson of Newcastle as the result of a generous benefactor.
