Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a church built in 1839, with alterations made in 1895-97, 1902, and late 20th century. It was designed by William Swan, the village schoolmaster, on the site of an earlier church. The building is constructed from coursed millstone grit with ashlar dressings and has Welsh slate roofs. The architectural style is Gothick, with Gothic Revival additions.

The church has a plan that includes a west tower and a nave. A south porch was added in 1897, along with transepts, a chancel, a south-east vestry, and a north-east organ chamber in 1902. The exterior features a chamfered plinth, with the original nave displaying chamfered eaves and corner pinnacles. The three-stage west tower has rusticated quoins and single lancets on three exposed sides in the lower stages. The third stage includes 2-light Y-tracery bell openings on each face, topped with a moulded cornice, battlements, and corner pinnacles.

The nave has three 2-light Y-tracery windows on each side and a projecting gabled porch on the south side, which features a moulded pointed arched doorway with double plank doors and ornate iron hinges, along with a date and inscription in the gable apex. The south transept contains a pointed arched doorway and a 2-light pointed arched reticulated tracery window above. The south-east vestry has a pointed arched doorway flanked by single lancets and a circular window above. The chancel features single side lancets and a 3-light pointed arched window with reticulated tracery. The organ chamber has a single lancet, while the north transept includes a 2-light pointed arch window with reticulated tracery. All windows are adorned with hoodmoulds and carved label stops, and the later additions to the east have angle buttressing.

Inside, the original building has plain stonework, while later additions are whitewashed except for the gritstone dressings. The nave consists of three bays and features a wooden gallery at the west end supported by cast-iron columns, which was modified in 1977. The roof has a king post design from 1859, and there are open benches. Notable fittings include a stone font that possibly originates from the earlier church.
