Add PhotosSaint Peter's Protestant Episcopal Church was organized in the summer of 1838, holding their first meetings in the Tunnel Hill School House. The cornerstone of a church building was laid in 1840 on Church Street, west of Starr Street, but the edifice was not finished and consecrated until 1852.
A graveyard was established on the church grounds around the same time. The ground included a lot owned by Saint John's Church — possibly the Saint John's Reformed Church, which had no burial ground of its own. The graveyard was used through the summer of 1866, when the Phoenixville borough council outlawed burials within municipal limits. The graveyard was subsequently removed, probably in part to Morris Cemetery. Today, the church rectory and parking lot occupy the site.
