Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church built between 1874 and 1877 by architects Goddard and Paget. It is constructed from granite rubble with Bath stone dressings and features tiled roofs with ornamental ridges. The church has a cruciform plan, consisting of a nave, a central tower, transepts, and a short chancel. A northeast vestry was added in 1923, along with a later 20th-century vestry extension in the southeast angle.

The design reflects late 12th to early 13th-century style, showcasing plate tracery, buttresses, and coped gables. The west end and the gables of the north and south transepts feature 2-light windows with cusped plate tracery. On the north and south sides of the nave, there are cusped lancets with dripmoulds and a sill string; the south side has five bays while the north side has four windows and a moulded arched doorway. The gabled porch includes a moulded arch, and above the arch and doorway are hoodmoulds with carved head stops.

The central tower has two stages, topped with a pyramid roof and a parapet that is corbelled out over recessed openings leading to the bell chamber. These openings consist of three lights with plate tracery, while the lower stage features narrow lancets, with the south lancet being more elaborate. A semi-octagonal stair projection is located at the southeast corner of the tower. The east end of the chancel is adorned with triple cusped lancets, with the central light being taller, and includes carved foliage stops to the dripmould and a double chamfered sill string.

Inside, the church has a plain interior with an arch-braced collar roof in the nave and moulded arches at the crossing. The fittings and glass date from the late 19th to 20th centuries. Notably, there is a monument in the north transept featuring the early 15th-century marble effigy of Joan Fulleshurst.
