Description
The Church of St Peter is a Grade II listed building, constructed in 1869 by S. Rollinson, with a steeple added in 1887. It is built from coursed sandstone with gritstone dressings and features steeply pitched roofs that are tiled in plain and fishscale patterns. The stone coped gables are topped with cross finials. The church has a nave with a southwest steeple and a north vestry, along with a chancel that has a polygonal apse.
The tower is supported by angle buttresses that have two set-offs, with the lower ones gableted. A pointed arch doorway on the south side features a filleted roll and a chamfer on the colonnettes, which are topped with stiff-leaf capitals. The doorway is adorned with a trefoil arch and C19 plank doors that have scrolled hinges. The west and east sides of the tower each have a low pointed-arched window with a cinquefoil, and there are single narrow lancets above on the west, east, and south sides. The bell stage transitions to an octagonal shape with broaches, featuring four tall lancet bell openings and four smaller pointed-arched openings above the broaches. The octagonal spire is decorated with lucarnes and tiny trefoil lucarnes.
On the south side of the nave, there are three two-light windows with plate tracery, separated by buttresses. The chancel includes a three-light window with plate tracery, and the polygonal apse has five lancets. A vestry is attached to the north side of the chancel, while a 20th-century vestry on the north side of the nave has a four-light window with square section mullions, along with two two-light plate traceried windows to the right. The west window features five stepped lancets within a single arch supported by colonnettes.
Inside, the church is spacious, with a scissor brace nave roof and an apse that also has a scissor brace roof. The apse features a boarded roof painted in 1901. The chancel arch responds are embellished with marble shafts and shaft rings, and the floors are tiled. A blind arcade around the apse is enriched with dogtooth detailing. Most windows contain stained glass, with the east window dating from 1900 and the chancel south window from 1911, both signed by T.F Curtis, Ward & Hughes.
