[edit] History
St. Peter's is one of the three mediaeval parish churches in Nottingham, the others being St Mary's and St Nicholas'. The parish of St James's Church, Standard Hill, founded in 1807 was united with St Peter's in 1933 and the official title "St Peter with St James" came into being. (St James's was demolished a few years later; some monuments from St James's are preserved in St Peter's.)
The church shows traces of many stages of construction from about 1180 onwards (the original church of around 1100 was destroyed by fire).
The history of St. Peter's is covered in detail on the Southwell Diocesan Church History Project Website
[edit] The organ
The first organ since the Commonwealth period was installed by Lincoln in 1812.
The organ was originally by Lloyd and Dudgeon from 1863 but has been adapted and restored several times by E. Wragg & Sons, Henry Willis & Sons and Hill, Norman & Beard. It now incorporates parts from the organ from St. Columba, Mansfield Road.
