Insignia of the society

The Society of SS. Peter and Paul (SSPP) was an English

Sarum rite
.

The society believed that the Church of England should follow the ceremonial development of the Western (Roman) Church, using the eucharistic rite of the 1549 Book of Common Prayer "enriched ceremonially and ritually from parent sources",[3] and that the best means to accomplish this was to produce missals and other prayer books to promote and facilitate this endeavour.

The SSPP worked closely with the ecclesiastical artist Martin Travers to produce the desired aesthetic for the movement.[4][5]

The society was responsible for the

high-church Anglicans.[6]
