The Church of St Peter, located on St Peter's Road in Highfield, Leicester, was built between 1872 and 1879 and designed by the architect George Edmund Street. It is constructed in the Gothic style and features a nave with aisles, a transept, a polygonal apse, and a west tower. The walls are made of rock-faced stone, and the nave has coupled lancet windows. The tower is supported by angle buttresses and has two-light openings for the bell. Inside, there is a continuous arcade without a chancel arch, a collar roof in the nave, and a boarded roof in the chancel.
