Description
The Church of St. Peter is a parish church built in 1821, likely designed by Jeptha Pacey. It features red and yellow brick with painted ashlar dressings and has a slate roof with wide eaves overhangs. The building displays a moulded cornice that forms open pediments in the gables, and it is accented by clasping pilaster strips that define the bays on the north and south sides. It sits on a shallow plinth, with the nave and chancel under a single roof.
The west end is topped with a hexagonal wooden cupola, which has pointed arched openings on each side. The cornice is decorated with orbs, and the domed lead roof is crowned with a single cross. The west wall features a painted first-floor band, a pointed arched doorway with a plank double door, and above the band is a painted plaque inscribed '1821', with a small circular opening above it.
The north wall consists of three bays, each containing a single pointed arched tripartite lead glazing bar casement. There is a continuous impost band that is interrupted by the pilasters, and beneath each window is a single flush panel made of narrow brick strips. The east wall has a similar casement with a continuous impost band and a small circular opening at the gable apex. The south wall mirrors the north wall, but on the far left, there is a single small lead glazing bar casement.
Inside, the church has an inner porch created by the west gallery, which features a doorway with panelled double doors leading into the nave. The gallery itself is panelled and supported by moulded pilasters. Below the gallery, to the south, there is a doorway with a panelled door, and to the north, a fixed light with glazing bars. The church contains 19th and 20th-century furnishings, including a hatchment. The porch has two doorways with panelled doors, one of which leads to the gallery stairs. This church was one of many constructed in the area following the Fen Churches Act of 1816.
