Description
The Church of St Peter is a chapel of ease built in 1822 for the 1818 Commission, with the chancel added in 1843 by Joseph Potter. The church is constructed of red brick with painted stone dressings on the earlier part and coursed dressed squared stone on the later chancel, topped with tiled roofs. It features a west tower, nave, and chancel.
The tower consists of three stages and is almost entirely engaged with the nave, featuring a raised string course below a crenellated parapet. The bell chamber has lancet windows, and there is a Y-tracery pointed window above a pointed west door. The nave has 3½ bays on a plinth, divided by two-stage buttresses, with Y-tracery pointed windows in each bay and on either side of the tower. The chancel has approximately two bays, with diagonal buttresses and strings below the cill level. It includes pointed, labelled two-light windows in the sanctuary and a three-light pointed east window with trefoils in circular tracery within the head. There is a flat-roofed addition to the south and a gabled addition to the north.
