Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a building of group value, largely dating to 1879, with a 14th-century tower and a late 15th-century bell stage. The church was designed by J.F. Doyle and comprises a nave with aisles, a south-west tower, a chancel, a north vestry, and a south chapel, built in 1893. It is constructed of stone with a slate roof.

The tower features diagonal west buttresses, a three-light west window with reticulated tracery, a sill course at the bell stage with three-light louvred bell openings containing Perpendicular tracery, a cornice, a panelled embattled parapet, and a square stair turret on the south-east. The aisles have five bays, with three-light windows containing Geometrical tracery; a gabled south porch provides access to the west end, and an entrance is on the east end, along with a single four-light window. The north aisle has one two-light window. The west end of the nave has a five-light window, and a round stack. The clerestory features single lights, paired to the east bay. The chancel contains a five-light window. The south chapel is constructed in an ornate Perpendicular style, featuring a sill course, cornice with carvings of animals, an embattled parapet, crocketed pinnacles, panelled gabled buttresses, an east four-light window, and a south three-light window, along with a south-facing sundial. The vestry and organ loft have a lean-to roof; east-facing windows are straight-headed, and the gabled bay has triple trefoil-headed lights and a rose window.

Inside, the nave features arcades with octagonal piers to the north and round piers to the south, with wall shafts in the eastern bay, and an arch-braced roof. The arch to the end of the south aisle, which leads to the tower, has octagonal responds. A wall tablet commemorates John Glegg (died 1619) with a kneeling figure, and Katherine Glegg (died 1666) with an armorial panel under an open pediment. The font, dating to 1879, has a round bowl supported by clustered shafts with acanthus ornament. At the west end of the nave are Royal arms from 1811, an 18th-century baluster font, and commandment boards. The chancel arch sits on corbelled shafts, with a low iron railing and a round-ended pulpit. A two-bay chancel arcade features a stone parclose screen and a waggon roof, including recessed sedilia. The north arch leads to the organ loft. The reredos was designed by C.E. Kempe in 1890. A wrought iron screen separates the south chapel. A significant amount of stained glass by Kempe is present, including in the east, south-east, south-west, and tower windows.
