Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church that was formally closed for worship in 2014. It was built in 1819, likely by Jeptha Pacey. The church is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with bracketed eaves. The nave gables have a moulded cornice that forms open pediments, and there are clasping pilaster strips along the sides, which also define the bays on the north and south sides. The building has a plinth and consists of a nave and a short chancel.

At the west end, there is an octagonal wooden cupola with a domed lead roof topped by a weather vane, and each side of the cupola has a single pointed arched opening. The west wall includes an ashlar first-floor band, above which is a pointed arched doorway that is accessed by four steps and features a plank double door. An ashlar plaque above the doorway is inscribed with '1819'. The north nave has three pointed arched two-light windows with ashlar plate tracery and lead glazing bars, and there is a continuous impost band that is interrupted by the pilasters. Below the windows, set into the plinth, are flush inverted brick arches. The east chancel has a single pointed arched three-light window with plate tracery. The south nave mirrors the north, but beneath the single outer windows are flush panels made of narrow brick strips.

Inside, there is an inner porch with a doorway that has a panelled door leading to the gallery. The panelled west gallery is supported by two cast iron columns. Below the gallery, there is a doorway with double doors, and to the right is a single fixed light with pointed arched glazing bars. To the left is the vestry, which has panelled partitions. The church features a pointed chancel arch and a painted octagonal font dated 1663, decorated with shields, as well as cast iron Royal arms.

This church is one of many that were built in the area following the Fen Churches Act of 1816.
