Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a large sandstone church primarily built in the late 12th century to early 13th century, featuring tiled roofs and a cruciform plan. It includes a nave, chancel, north and south transepts, a crossing tower, and chapels on the north and south sides of the chancel. The nave has 19th-century restored windows in the Decorated style, with the west window showcasing reticulated tracery. The chancel features a reticulated traceried three-light east window and a round-headed lancet in the south wall. Both transepts have three-light perpendicular windows, and the south doorway of the south transept has a round arch with thick continuous quarter-round mouldings. The north doorway of the north transept also has a round arch and one order of shafts, with the trumpet and waterleaf capitals remaining despite the shafts being missing. The north chapel contains a decorated three-light east window, while the south chapel is small and in the perpendicular style.

The crossing tower, dating from the 12th century with a 14th-century upper part, features large buttresses with set-offs at the south-west and north-west corners, and a circular turret on the north-west corner topped with an ogee cap, battlements, and a pyramidal tiled roof. The tower stage has lancets, and above are Decorated two-light bell-openings.

Inside, the church has massive crossing piers with narrow fluting on the capitals, 19th-century roofs, a modern font, a Jacobean pulpit, and a communion rail with balusters. There is stained glass by O'Connar from 1861, and by Kempe from 1887 and 1902, along with a memorial window from 1906 by Mary Newill. A notable monument within the church is a large Rococo tablet commemorating William Chudde, dated 1765.
