Historique
The first church of Saint Peter, Battersea was built in 1875. This was replaced with a new church building in Plough Road following a serious fire in 1970. The parish has historical links with two other Battersea churches. It has shared boundaries with Saint Paul, St. John's Hill, since 1939. Saint Paul's was originally a chapel of ease in the parish of Saint John, Usk Road, with which it was amalgamated in 1938. Saint John's Church went into disuse after the parish of Saint Peter with Saint Paul was established. Saint Peter's Church has gone on to become the main place of worship in this parish, but readers may want to consult the records of Saint Paul and Saint John in conjunction with those from Saint Peter. The Revd. Chad Varah, founder of The Samaritans, was vicar at Saint Peter's during the 1950's.
