Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church that dates from the early 12th century, with additions from the 13th century, late 18th century, and restoration in 1857 by Michael Drury. It is constructed from greenstone rubble blocks with limestone ashlar dressings, some red brick patching, and some render. The church features slate roofs adorned with decorative ridge tiles, stone coped gables, and an eastern cross finial.

The building includes a bell turret, nave, and chancel, with the 18th-century nave restored in the 19th century. The west front has a 19th-century round-headed doorway with rectangular jambs, a hood mould, and a plank door. Above this is a small 18th-century round-headed window featuring Y tracery. The 19th-century bell turret has a round-headed opening for the bell and a gable above with a cross finial.

On the north side of the nave, there is a plinth and a single late 18th-century round-headed window with Y tracery and a red brick patched surround. The east side has a two-stage buttress, while the north side of the chancel is plain. The east end of the 13th-century chancel was restored in the 19th century, featuring single-stage diagonal buttresses with 19th-century setoffs and a 19th-century east window with three lancets, the central one taller, complete with a continuous hood mould and two label stops.

The south side of the chancel includes a 19th-century plate traceried window with two trefoil-headed lights and a quatrefoil above, as well as a plinth and an 18th-century round-headed window with Y tracery. Inside, the northwest wall features a piscina in a round-headed niche. The early 12th-century chancel arch is round-headed, with two rolls and large moulded imposts that have a looped motif on the west corners, rectangular western jambs, and chamfered eastern head and jambs. The north wall of the chancel contains a tomb recess arch that is partially underground, with a blocked aumbry above featuring a pointed head, chamfered surround, and bold inner cusping. The south wall of the chancel has a double piscina under a single pointed arch. There is also a gravestone in the chancel floor commemorating John Porter, rector, who died in 1688.
