Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a church built between 1864 and 1865, designed by J. Medland Taylor. It features rubble walls made from a mix of red and yellow sandstone along with industrial waste, and has red and yellow stone dressings. The roof is slate. The church has a nave with aisles beneath a cat-slide roof, a southwest tower, a south transept, a chancel with a south vestry, and a north organ loft, all under cat-slide roofs.

The tower is supported by angle buttresses and has cusped lancets and paired bell openings. The south entrance features a pointed tympanum with a quatrefoil and crossed keys. The spire includes squat pyramids at the angles and a weather vane. The west end has a two-light window with plate tracery. The aisle windows vary; those on the south side consist of three lancets with a roundel above, while those on the north side alternate between three and two lancets, with roundels above the two-lancet windows. The transept has two gabled bays with triple lancets and rose windows above. The canted chancel has three two-light windows with plate tracery, and the chapel features segmental-pointed windows and an east lancet. There is a lateral stack on the south side of the chancel.

Inside, the church has six-bay arcades supported by round columns, and the chancel arch rests on round corbels. The nave roof features scissor-brace-collar trusses, while the aisles have tie beams. The transept has a valley beam on brackets and collar rafter roofs. The font is circular on a circular base, with an inscription around it and nail-head moulding. A similar pulpit features cusped pointed piercings. There is a timber chancel screen dating from around 1920, and a wall memorial to Rev. A. A. Nunn, who died in 1889, is located in the transept; it is designed in the form of a trefoil with quadrants in the angles.
