St Peter’s Church, Chesil, Winchester, formerly known as St Peter upon Chesille without Eastgate is a former parish church in the Church of England in Winchester Hampshire[1] and is now the home of Chesil Theatre.[2]

The church comprises elements from the 12th century and later. It is constructed of flint and stone, and the belfry turret, and roofs are hung with tiles.[3]

It fell out of use after the Second World War and was declared structurally unsafe in 1960. It was then acquired by the Chesil Theatre company.

Organ

The church contained a small one manual pipe organ. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[4]
