Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a church dating from the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, now in the care of the Redundant Churches Fund. It is constructed of ashlar magnesian limestone with lead roofs. The building comprises a west tower, a two-bay nave with a south porch and north aisle, and a two-bay chancel with a chapel overlapping the aisle.

The west tower has a C12 base, altered in the 12th century, and a later Perpendicular belfry stage. The tower's offset diagonal west buttresses have chamfered plinths, moulded bands, and carved heads near their tops. A Perpendicular two-light west window is ornamented with a head-carved hoodmould. A scalloped band and string course beneath the belfry stage includes unlouvred two-light pointed openings with hoodmoulds, and gargoyles flank the embattled parapet, which has four crocketed pinnacles.

The south porch is gabled with diagonal buttresses and a moulded arch with hoodmould, featuring stone benches and a C12 south door adorned with zig-zag and beak-head ornament on the jambs. A tall round-arched window from the same period is set to the right, with shafted jambs. A mask-carved corbel table sits beneath a parapet heightened by Perpendicular embattlements. The north aisle has a quadrant-moulded north door with a pointed arch and hood, with two large buttresses featuring moulded plinths, offsets, and gablets along with double-chamfered two-light windows with rounded lights beneath square heads. The chancel is lower and narrower, with a blocked C13 priests' door featuring a shouldered lintel, and a pedimented wall monument to its right. Square-headed windows with two ogee-headed lights are present, along with a mask-carved corbel table on the south side beneath a low parapet, and a matching three-light window beneath a shallow east gable.

Inside, the tower has a double-chamfered arch, the inner order resting on corbels. The Early C13 north aisle arcade has a cylindrical pier, corresponding responds, and square capitals to its double-chamfered arches. The C12 chancel arch is two orders with columns, shafts, carved capitals, and zig-zag ornament. A string course around the east end of the chancel is linked by carved bosses to the hood of a trefoil-headed piscina in the south wall. The north window has a moulded ledge on three brackets with cusped panels between; a hollow cornice features leaf carvings. A double-chamfered arch to the north chapel has semi-octagonal responds and a hoodmould. The north aisle includes a section of corbel table to the north wall of the chancel and to the east end of the nave. A wall monument east of the chapel arch has a plinth with a skull on its die beneath a corniced panel, flanked by drops, and features supporters to a corniced panel bearing a heraldic device. C16 floor slabs are in the nave, and a cross slab with two figures is set into the chancel floor.
