Description
The Church of St Peter is a parish church built in 1773, constructed from sandstone ashlar with hipped and gabled Welsh slate roofs. The building features stone-coped gables with moulded kneelers and a moulded dentil eaves cornice that continues around the tower. The west tower is partly engaged by the nave and rises only slightly above the nave roof, featuring a pitched roof with plain gable ends and a moulded eaves cornice.
The south doorway is adorned with a moulded architrave, a bolection moulded frieze, and a cornice, and it has a pair of 19th-century plank doors. Above the doorway is a blind lunette with radiating voussoirs. The tower includes a louvred circular bell-opening, while the west side has a tall round-arched window with a moulded arch set within a blind round-arched recess, and a circular louvred bell-opening above it. To the north, there is a 20th-century brick boiler house and chimney, which is not of special interest, along with a blind rectangular window.
The north side of the nave features three tall blind round arches and a cornice without dentils. A square projecting vestry has a doorway to the west and a stepped round-arched window to the east, complete with a moulded keystone. The chancel has a hipped roof and a canted apse at the east end, which includes a central round-arched window with a moulded arch and impost blocks, set within a blind round arch. There is a similar window on the south side of the chancel and three similar windows on the south side of the nave, all with radiating voussoirs.
Inside, the church has a plain plastered interior with a flat ceiling. A circular font rests on an octagonal base, and there is an 18th-century pulpit featuring raised and fielded panels, fluted pilasters, and a tester. The chancel arch is plain and round-arched, and the chancel ceiling is painted. The communion rails are designed with turned balusters.
