Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church with significant fabric from the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 15th centuries. It was altered and reduced around 1893 by Ewan Christian, and a narthex was added in the early 20th century. The building is constructed of squared greenstone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a slate roof and bellcote.

The church consists of a nave, a later narthex, and a chancel. The west end of the nave has wide, stepped, and raking buttresses. A flat-roofed narthex, constructed in the early 20th century, covers a 19th-century doorway with a four-centred arch and hood. Above this doorway is a three-light window and a small rectangular gable light. The bellcote is pyramidal, with triple wooden openings on each side, and is slate-hung, topped with an ashlar octagonal chimney stack.

The north side of the nave has a tall, 11th-century triple chamfered plinth. A 12th-century north doorway features a chevron molded hood with a single beast head stop and a label. Massive side alternate quoins are visible at the north east corner of the nave, and the plinth continues along the chancel wall; however, the eastern side has been rebuilt and patched with brick. A 11th-century keyhole window has an ashlar head and reveals, with a curled grooved motif and a cross around the head. The 19th-century east window is of three lights, in Perpendicular style. On the south side are a further 19th-century two-light window with trefoil and trilobe motifs, a 13th-century lancet, and a low, rectangular side window. A two-light Y-traceried window, recut in the 19th century, is also present on the south wall of the nave. A 11th-century blocked south doorway retains a single monolithic long and short jamb, a reset ashlar head, and above it, a stone bearing a raised flaring arm cross.

Inside, at the west end of the nave, the rear arches of the blocked side doors are visible, indicating the nave has been shortened. The chancel arch, originally 11th century, features engaged half round shafts or pilaster strips with hacked back capitals, plain reveals, chamfered imposts, and a reset round head. A 14th-century recut king's head is carved into the reveal of the southern window, in the east side of the chancel. The chancel contains single rectangular aumbries on each side, and a tomb recess on the south. A triangular headed recess is visible in the north reveal of the chancel arch. Fittings include a 15th-century three-light chancel screen with cusped ogee arches and Perpendicular tracery, a 19th-century round tub font with crossed quatrefoils, and 19th-century roofs and pews.
