Description
The Church of St Peter is a parish church built between 1842 and 1843 by architects Bonomi & Cory. It is constructed from snecked stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof, designed in the Early English style. The church consists of a nave, chancel, and a west tower.
The west tower is supported by clasping buttresses with offsets and has tall 2-light Geometric bell openings. It is topped with a broach spire that includes two tiers of lucarnes. The nave has four bays and features a gabled south porch on the left side, with lancet and paired lancet windows. The chancel, which has two bays, also contains lancet windows and three stepped lancets at the east end, all under gabled roofs.
Inside, the nave boasts an open timber king- and queen-post roof with cusped arched braces and circles featuring quatrefoils in the spandrels. The chancel roof has a king post and cusped arched braces, with open-work decoration in the spandrels.
