St Peter's Church is a Catholic parish church in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. It started from a mission church founded in 1844 and was completed in 1846. It was designed by Augustus Pugin in the Gothic Revival style and founded by Charles Scott-Murray. It was the first new Catholic church built in Buckinghamshire since the Reformation, one of the last designed by Pugin and contains the relic of St James the Apostle's left hand.[3] It is located between St Peter Street and Mill Road near the centre of Marlow. In 1970, an extension was built connected to the church on its northeast side. It was designed by Francis Pollen. It is a Grade II listed building.[4][5]
