Church Of St Peter

The Church of St. Peter is a Grade II* listed building located on Loughborough Road in Mountsorrel. This church dates back to the 14th century, with alterations and modifications made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of granite rubble stone and red brick, featuring stone dressings and a Welsh slate roof with a small brick ridge stack.

The church includes a northwest tower, a nave, and a chancel that are all under one roof, along with a south church room and a north porch. The 14th-century tower is built of granite rubble stone and consists of two stages. It has a small 18th-century west window, a door above it in what is likely the original west window frame, and four two-light bell openings, with a clock face positioned above the east side. The tower is adorned with gargoyles, battlements, and a weathervane. Inside, the tower extends into the northwest corner of the nave, where it is accompanied by an 18th-century Gothick west window.

The nave and chancel form a single rectangular space with a flat plastered ceiling. There are three north windows, one of which is a small 18th-century window, while the other two feature 19th-century reticulated tracery and stained glass, including a memorial window from the First World War. The east side has two windows with 19th-century reticulated tracery and stained glass, along with a blocked east door and a stone-coped brick east gable. A brick dentilled band runs across the structure above the rubble stone below, and there is a clock face in the gable. A 19th-century wooden screen separates the nave from the chancel, which also contains a 19th-century wooden reredos featuring an altarpiece of the Last Supper.

On the south side, there are three small windows, likely from the 18th century, and a blocked narrow window. A south door leads to a 19th-century lean-to church room. There is a narrow southeast gabled projection that houses the organ. The north porch, built in the 19th century, is made of stone and wood and has a plain tile roof. The church features two buttresses with set-offs on the north side and similar diagonal buttresses on the chancel. Inside, there are late 18th-century and early 19th-century wall monuments, along with a 19th-century font and pulpit.
