Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church that dates from the 13th century and was extensively rebuilt in the late 18th century. It features coursed rubble and render with ashlar dressings. The building includes a west tower, a two-bay nave, north and south aisles, and a chancel, all reconstructed by Thomas and William Lumby between 1771 and 1775. The north aisle retains the only surviving medieval work, with two flat-topped windows that have hood drip moulds and three ogee-headed lights. These windows are directly copied on the south aisle, as are the east and west windows, which have four lights and flowing tracery. An original embattled parapet runs along all the walls, topped with pinnacles. The chancel features a large east window with five lights and extravagant flowing tracery, which may date from 1729 but is more likely from the 19th century. The west doorway has niches on either side with ogee tops in a florid Gothick style, and a circular quatrefoil window above. The bell chamber has simple openings with Y-tracery on each face. Inside, the church has two-bay arcades with octagonal piers and double chamfered arches, as well as an early English rub-shaped font.
