Description

The Church of St Peter, built between 1880 and 1881, is a Grade II* listed building designed by architect Eugene E Clephan. It features red brick construction with stone dressings and window tracery, showcasing a conventional early Gothic style. The church has a five-bay nave with low aisles and a four-stage tower over the northwest bay, along with a pentagonal apse. The aisle windows are adorned with string courses, impost strings, and labels, while the clerestory windows also have impost strings and labels, flanked by blind lancets. Each bay is separated by wall buttresses, and the buttresses at the south porch and the angled buttresses of the tower display tumbled brick set-offs. A chimney on the south side of the apse features similar tumbled set-offs. There is a later addition of a four-window vestry at the southeast end.

Inside, the church has a low arcade supported by squat piers with heavy stiff leaf capitals, and corbelled responds leading to the chancel arch. The apse features a wooden ribbed vault, and some black bricks are present in the voussoirs of the east windows.
