Description
The Church of St Peter is a church built in 1852 by G T Andrews for the Hon Lydia Dawnay, designed in the Early English style. It features ashlar stonework and a graduated stone slate roof. The church has a double bell-cote at the west end, a 4-bay nave, and a 2-bay chancel that are combined into one structure, along with a south porch and a north vestry.
The nave includes a moulded plinth and buttresses with offsets. It has lancet windows topped with florets under hood-moulds. The pointed south door is adorned with continuous roll moulding. The porch features a south door with two orders, nook-shafts, and a pointed arch that includes keel mouldings and dogtooth detailing beneath a coped gable. The west bell-cote has two pointed openings set under a chamfered pointed arch with plate tracery and a coped gable. The east end displays twin lancets and a coped gable.
Inside, there is an octagonal font supported by four attached columns on water-holding bases, featuring a basin decorated with trefoils and nailhead designs, as well as a panel depicting the baptism of Christ. The roof is constructed with scissor-braced common rafters.
