Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a chapel of ease built between 1873 and 1874 by G.E. Street for Hon. Edward Swynfen Parker-Jervis of Little Aston Hall. It is constructed of red sandstone ashlar with tiled roofs featuring verge parapets and is designed in a picturesque Early English style. The church comprises a nave, chancel, north aisle, and vestry, as well as a north-west steeple.

The steeple is three-stage and banded, with angle buttresses. The bell chamber has pointed, labelled arcading with louvred openings. The spire has diminishing lucarnes. A lancet window is set above a pointed, moulded west door with engaged columns. An octagonal stair tower is attached to the south-west angle, rising to the centre stage of the steeple and influencing the overall composition. The south side of the nave has three bays of pointed, two-light Y-tracery windows, a continuous string below cill level, a buttress to the east, and a small engaged octagonal projection echoing the stair tower. The west gable has a stepped, five-light lancet window over a flat-roofed choir vestry projection added in 1955.

The north aisle has a similar roof pitch to the nave and features three bays with a taller, projecting gabled vestry. The north face incorporates a lancet window, a trefoil-headed boarded door, and a quatrefoil light to the apex of the west gable. To the east, an additional bay fills the return angle to the chancel. Further features include a quatrefoil light to the south and a triple-light lancet to the east gable. The north side includes three bays of lancets, a stepped string, and angle buttresses. Its east window is a large, pointed design.

Inside, the church features a three-bay north arcade with pointed arches on round columns, a pointed chancel arch, and segmental relieving arches to the north aisle windows. Pointed arches to the north and east of the tower continue the arcade and aisle. The nave roof has arch-braced collar trusses with a single wind brace and purlin. The chancel roof incorporates trussed rafters in a barrel vault. A reredos carving is by Earp. A stone, octagonal pulpit is set on clustered marble columns with inset marble mosaic panels. A similar font is present. Elaborate brass choir rails are also a feature.
