Church Of St Peter

The Church of St. Peter is a parish church that dates from the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, with restoration and rebuilding carried out in 1841 by Young of Lincoln. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features slate roofs with stone coped gables. The church includes a western tower, nave, and chancel.

The 15th-century tower has three stages, a plinth, two string courses, a pyramidal roof, and angle buttresses. The west window, also from the 15th century, has two lights with a pointed head and perpendicular panel tracery. Above this window is a rectangular light, and the 19th-century belfry stage has paired pointed lights on all four sides. The north wall of the nave contains four pointed 19th-century windows with buttresses in between. In the chancel's north wall is a recut early 14th-century window with two cusped lights and a trefoil in the head. The east window is also an early 14th-century recut window with three cusped lights, two trefoils, a quatrefoil, and a single chamfered surround with a hood mould. The south window of the chancel mirrors the north window but features human head labels. The south wall of the nave has three 19th-century windows and buttresses, along with a recut 19th-century doorway and two original but repositioned human head labels.

Inside, the tower arch is double chamfered and dies into its reveals without capitals. A tablet in the tower chamber records the rebuilding of the church in 1841. The chancel arch is early 13th-century, featuring keeled responds and double chamfering with a hood mould and human head labels. Most fittings are from the 19th century, including the font, although there is a base for a medieval octagonal font in the tower. There are two First World War memorial tablets on the wall: one commemorates two soldiers, and the other honors the five sons of Reverend and Mrs. Amy Beechey, who had eight sons go off to war, with only three returning. Their memory is also commemorated in a stained glass window installed in 2016.
