Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church located in Sproxton, with origins dating back to the 13th century. The west tower was built in the 13th century, while the nave and chancel were constructed in the early 14th century. The church underwent significant reworking in the 15th century and further remodeling during a restoration in 1885. It is built of ironstone with limestone dressings, and the roofs are likely covered with lead, though they are hidden by parapets.

The tower is an unbuttressed three-stage structure featuring a lancet window on the west side and additional lancets on the north and south sides of the ringing chamber. The late 14th-century belfry stage is made of limestone and includes louvred two-light cusped windows. The plain parapet is adorned with four corner pinnacles. A Perpendicular gabled south porch has a double chamfered entrance arch, with a two-light panel tracery window to the left and a four-light tall panel tracery window to the right. There is a blocked north nave door and a three-light Perpendicular window to the east. The chancel features three two-light late 19th-century Flowing windows on the south side and a three-light reticulated window on the east. A brick organ chamber is located to the east of a blocked chancel north door.

Inside, the church has a triple chamfered tower arch supported by two orders of shafts with moulded capitals, above which is a blocked east window. The nave features a five-bay roof with canted tie beams on solid arched braces, which rest on wall posts leading to stone head corbels. The roof includes a moulded ridge piece and a pair of moulded butt purlins. The font, dating from the 13th century, is a plain drum on a hexagonal stem. The chancel arch is double chamfered and supported by polygonal responds with moulded capitals. The chancel itself has a double chamfered 19th-century arch leading to the organ chamber recess on the north side, with a roof similar to that of the nave. The chancel also features a crenellated wall plate, and the bench sedilia and cusped piscina were added in 1885.
