Description
The Church of St Peter is a parish church that dates from the 11th century, with later additions from the 13th, 14th, and 16th centuries, and a rebuilding in 1850. It is constructed from coursed and squared ironstone and limestone rubble, along with brown and red brick, and features plain grey concrete tiled roofs. The church comprises a western tower, nave, and chancel.
The square tower is unbuttressed and has extended footings, a single chamfered offset leading to the belfry, an embattled parapet, and gargoyles. On the south side, there is a small rectangular light, while the belfry stage has paired 14th-century two-light ogee-headed cusped openings. The west wall contains a blocked round-headed door, which has a 13th-century lancet in the blocking, and a rectangular light in the middle stage.
The nave includes massive square stones, and the north wall features a blocked 16th-century four-centred arched doorway and a 14th-century three-light window with ogee heads and a chamfered square surround. The upper part of the chancel and the east wall of the nave were replaced with red brick around 1850. The 19th-century east window has three lights. On the south side, only the chamfered reveal remains of a window in the chancel. The nave's south wall has a 19th-century rectangular window with a hood and a matching 14th-century window on the north side. The south doorway is single chamfered with a moulded hood, which was recut in the 19th century. The pitch of an earlier nave roof is visible in the east wall of the tower.
Inside, the 11th-century tower arch is tall and narrow with a rounded head and plain imposts. In the south reveal, there is a reused piece of 10th-century sculpture featuring two panels of interlace. The chancel arch, dating from the 19th century, is double chamfered with single imposts. In the east wall of the nave, there is a reset piscina with a reset 13th-century cusped head. Most fittings are from the 19th and 20th centuries, except for the 12th-century tub font, which has cable moulding around the rim and a panel of chevrons in low relief with intersecting arcading.
