St. Peter’s Church has towered over Ashley Cross since 1833. Its seen Marriages and Christenings and Funerals and a continuous round of prayer and celebration. Its seen happy times and sad times and its been a place to mark important moments for literally thousands of Parkstone families, among them Lord and Lady Baden-Powell. They were married here and their first child was Baptised her
Maybe you were too!
