Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church dating from around 1300, with a 14th-century west tower and chancel, and some remodelling from the 15th century. It is constructed of ironstone with limestone dressings, featuring lead roofs on the nave and aisle, and a slate roof on the chancel and north transept. The tower is three stages high, with a blocked round-arched west doorway situated below a three-light 19th-century Perpendicular window. It has slit lights for the ringing chamber and two-light belfry windows, with diagonal buttresses that rise to a crenellated parapet topped by an octagonal crocketed spire. There is one tier of gabled lucarnes with two-light tracery, a gabled south porch, and two-light windows in the south aisle. The north side of the nave has large brick buttresses and no nave windows below the clerestory. The clerestory features three 15th-century two-light windows with triangular heads. The chancel has two 19th-century two-light windows with trefoil patterns, a three-light east window, and a two-light north window. To the west, there is a gabled 19th-century brick vestry.

Inside, the church has a four-bay arcade supported by alternately circular and octagonal piers, with double chamfered arches. The tall tower arch has circular responds with polygonal bases and capitals. The nave roof, dating from the 15th century, features canted tie beams with arched braces that drop to wall posts on corbels, along with a ridge piece and one pair of butt purlins. The aisle roof retains ties, but otherwise, it was replaced in the 1980s. The church also contains a 15th-century octagonal font with petal and tracery patterns on the stem and bowl, and a 19th-century chancel roof with ties, collars, two tiers of butt purlins, and curved windbracing. Additionally, five late 15th-century benches with poppyheads remain in the chancel.
