St Peter ad Vincula, April 1984
The church of St Peter ad Vincula on Thornaby Green, April 1984.
The Anglican parish church on the village green is of 12th century origin but a place of worship existed at the time of the Domesday Book of 1086. The unusual dedication to St. Peter ad Vincula (“St. Peter in chains”) is derived from the ancient Basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. The building, with a simple nave and a bell turret with two bells, was originally dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene. Grace Pace, the mother of Captain James Cook, was baptised at St. Peter’s in 1702.
