Description
The Church of St Peter is a parish church located in Hereford, dating from the late 13th century to early 14th century. It was restored around 1885 by Nicholson and is constructed from ashlar sandstone and rubble, topped with a slate roof. The church features a plan that includes a nave, chancel, south aisle, and a tower with a spire.
On the south front, there are three stained-glass windows set under moulded pointed arches, along with a porch that has wrought-iron gates. The exterior is enhanced by stepped buttresses and corner buttresses with finials on the tower. The ribbed spire is topped with a weather-vane. The east front showcases a Perpendicular window beneath a semicircular arch, made of coursed dressed stone.
Inside, the church boasts 15th-century stalls and misericordes. Notably, it contains work by Grinling Gibbons, including the Royal Arms of William III and panels for the pedal organ in the chancel. Historically, the 14th-century spire houses a bell from the same period, believed to be the "Common Bell" that warned the citizens of Hereford of danger.
