St. Peter’s Church has been fortunate to have a Choir to lead its singing over many years. The Choir in its current form was started by Mary Farnsworth in April 1983. Hugh Jenkins was the organist at that time. Many loyal choir members, young and old have come and gone over the intervening period. We are affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music and have attended many of the regular Diocesan Choir festivals at St. Albans Abbey.
We sing at all our 10.15 a.m. Sunday services together with Patronal and Harvest festivals and Carol services at all our three Churches. We also sing at weddings and other special services and events.
We generally meet fortnightly for practice on a Friday evening and would welcome any one of any age who enjoys singing to join our friendly and enthusiastic team. We sing a variety of music, from modern worship songs to baroque anthems and we are anxious to continue part harmony singing in our delightful ancient Church.

Farewell to Keith and Jo Green - 1996
********************
On Sunday 5th. October 2009 at our 10.15 a.m. Harvest Festival service a presentation was made to five long serving members of the choir: Mary Farnsworth, Ron Kessell, Connie Kessell, Muriel King and Sue Wilde. It was thought appropriate to recognise this combined service of 125 years by presenting them with engraved long service medals from the Royal School of Church Music, to which the choir is affiliated. So congratulations and thanks to them from all at St. Peter’s.
