Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church with a late 15th-century west tower and a largely rebuilt structure from 1845. It is constructed of ashlar with low-pitched lead roofs featuring stone coped verges. The church comprises a three-bay west tower, a three-bay nave with aisles, and a two-bay chancel.

The west tower has three stages marked by offsets, with a moulded plinth, diagonal buttresses rising to the belfry stage, and a crenellated parapet with a hollow-chamfered string and gargoyles at the corners. A two-centred west doorway has two orders of chamfering with a returned hood-mould. Above is a three-light window with a hollow-chamfered surround, a depressed four-centred arch, and a returned hood mould. Rectangular loops are present on each face of the second stage. The belfry openings are of two trefoil-headed lights beneath a two-centred drop arch with supermullions and a central quatrefoil.

The nave and aisles have three-light aisle windows with panelled tracery beneath two-centred arches. There are also square-headed clerestory windows of two trefoil-headed lights with sunken spandrels. Diagonal buttresses mark the corners, with plain aisle parapets and crenellated nave parapets. A two-centred south entrance has two orders of ogee mouldings. The chancel contains two-centred windows with Y-tracery, the east window featuring cusped intersecting tracery and buttresses at the bay divisions and diagonal buttresses at the corners.

Inside, the church features three-bay nave arcades with double chamfered pointed arches on octagonal columns with moulded capitals. A two-centred tower arch and a tall chancel arch, resting on semi-octagonal columns with moulded capitals and a hollow-chamfered hood mould terminating in heads, are also present. The nave has a low-pitched king-post roof with bracketed tie beams springing from moulded stone corbels, while the chancel roof features an arch-braced collar roof. Notable fixtures include a small west gallery within the tower, a vestry formed by screening off the lower part of the tower arch, an octagonal font with panels depicting angels and symbols of the Evangelists, a full set of 19th-century box pews, 19th-century stalls with poppy heads, and a hexagonal pulpit with panel tracery.
