Church Of St Peter Including Attached Wall And Gateway To South West

The Church of St Peter, along with an attached wall and gateway to the south-west, was built between 1893 and 1910 by Temple Moore. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The church has a four-bay nave and a three-bay chancel with lean-to aisles, as well as a projecting apsidal chapel on the south-east side. A square bell-turret is located at the south-east corner of the nave.

At the west end, there are four entrances, two of which are in a central, round-arched, recessed open porch with a brick vaulted roof. The doorways are square-headed with a cusped motif at the top and a central colonnette with a canopy above for a figure, which is now missing. There are similar single, pointed-arched porches on each side. A tall four-light window with decorated tracery is also present. The nave features tall three-light windows with decorated tracery at both high and low levels on the north side, as well as a cambered-headed doorway with projecting reveals.

The short south-east tower has an ashlar top and a slated pyramidal roof. The chancel includes slender, high-level two-light windows with traceried heads and a large five-light east window with decorated tracery. The projecting chapel is lower and has very slender two-light traceried windows set in shallow panels that are separated by buttresses.

To the south-west, there is a short wall with two openings and an arched gateway leading to the entrance area. Inside, the church features a tall four-bay arcade on the north and south sides of the nave, supported by engaged filleted colonnettes. The chancel has a three-bay arcade on clustered, filleted columns, with narrow aisles and wooden rib-vaulted roofs. Across the first bay of the nave, there is a low five-bay arcaded ambulatory with a stone rib-vaulted roof. The central arch is round, while the others are pointed. The west wall contains the main entrances and two staircases leading to the rear gallery, along with a roof loft and loose seating. The church exhibits a high standard of detailing throughout.
