Description
The Church of St Peter and St Paul is a parish church that dates from the late 12th century to the early 13th century, with the nave, clerestory, tower, and porch added in the late 14th century. It is constructed of rubble and ashlar with a tiled roof. The layout includes a nave, chancel, aisles, a west tower, and a south porch. The church was restored in 1856.
The nave features a clerestory with three 2-light Perpendicular windows. The south aisle has three 2-light Perpendicular windows with hood mouldings and label stops. The north aisle contains three 2-light straight-headed Perpendicular windows with flat labels, as well as a hood moulded arched doorway dating from around 1200 at the west end. The chancel, which is from the 15th century, has one 2-light Perpendicular window on both the north and south walls. On the south wall of the chancel, there is a priest's door with a finial and a stained glass light. The large east window, made in 1856, replaced an original square-headed window. The chancel clerestory has paired Perpendicular windows on both the north and south walls.
The late 14th century south porch features small lights in the returns. The western tower is embattled and has 2-light bell openings with a transom and a recessed spire that includes two tiers of lucarnes.
Inside, the church has a Norman north arcade with three bays supported by a circular pier and square abaci. The capitals are decorated with scallops or waterleaf motifs, and the first two arches feature zig-zag decoration. The south arcade, dating from around 1250, has circular abaci and is double chamfered. There is a sedile with leaf capitals and a decorated ogee-headed recess at the east of the south aisle. The stained glass in the east window was created by Gerente in 1856.
