Description
The Church of St Peter, located in Stonebroom, was built in 1900, with the tower raised around 1910, designed by Peter Currey of the Currey and Thompson Partnership. The church is constructed from sandstone rubble with quoins, featuring gritstone and brick dressings, and has a concrete tile roof that is low-eaved over the nave and hipped over the tower. The tower has a plinth, and there are continuous sill bands along the nave elevations.
The building consists of a nave, a narrower chancel, and a projecting square tower at the southeast corner between the nave and chancel. The west elevation features a blind pointed brick arch at the center, with two lancet windows flanked by stone quoins and brick arches, and a tapering stepped buttress in between. Above the arch is an elliptical window, with later tapering buttresses on either side. The north and south elevations display alternating twin and triple lancets similar to the west windows, and there are circular brick windows on either side of the chancel.
A dedication tablet at the east end reads, "To the Glory of God this stone was laid by Florence, widow of the late John Jackson of Stubbin Edge. July 7 1900." Above this, the east window consists of three lancets with a sill band, and tapering, stepped clasping buttresses on either side. The southeast tower has two lancets on the south side with a clock face above, and louvred dormers on all sides of the tower roof. The west side features a brick-arched south door with tapering buttresses on either side.
Inside, the church is entirely brick, with a quasi hammerbeam roof over the nave and a barrel-vaulted chancel. There is an open arcade of pointed arches on the north side of the chancel, a limestone rubble font on an octagonal stem supported by four columns, and a wrought iron screen leading to the chancel.
