Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a church that dates back to the 13th century, with alterations made in 1757 and the 19th century. It is constructed of brick and moulded brick for the chancel and nave, set on sandstone plinths, while the tower features coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar quoins. The roofs are covered with plain clay tiles, and the spire is finished with shingles.

The plan of the church includes a chancel, a nave with a south porch, and a tower. The exterior showcases the chancel and nave in 18th-century Flemish bond brick, complete with a brick string course and a moulded brick cornice. The windows are stone cusped lancets set in 19th-century brick, with a notable three-light cusped lancet window on the east side. The nave and chancel roofs have coped brick gables of varying heights, and there is a 19th-century brick porch. The 13th-century tower features a setback buttress on the southeast side and a broad flat buttress on the northwest. It has a 13th-century lancet window on the west side, which is reputed to contain reset glass from the same period, and one lancet window on both stages of the south tower wall. The spire is made of wood shingles, resting on a tiled base with lead squint flashes.

Inside, the nave has a four-bay roof supported by two purlins, featuring king-post trusses with scalloped king posts, principals, and struts. The chancel has a two-bay roof with two purlins and an 18th-century king-post truss with swept braces and principals. The chancel arch is made of brick, and there is a plain pulpit in Jacobean style.
