The Norman Church of St Peter in Portishead, Somerset, England, was built in 1320, on the site of a previous church, and rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries in the Perpendicular Gothic style. In 1952 it was made a Grade I listed building. The vestry was added in 1828. The church was altered in 1978–1979. It also has a new garden developed at the Millennium.
