Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a church built between 1754 and 1758, likely on earlier foundations, with restorations and a chancel added around 1870. It features brick laid in Flemish bond on a coursed blue lias rubble plinth, with ashlar dressings and steeply pitched renewed graduated stone slate roofs.

The church has a two-bay nave, a small square chancel, and a west tower. The exterior includes flush quoins and coped gables. The chancel has a coped gable with a cross, an east window with Y tracery, a single-chamfered light to the north, and a two-light straight-headed window to the south. The nave features a modillioned brick cornice and two windows with two single-chamfered trefoil-headed lights, likely from the 1870s. The three-stage tower has two string courses and a plain stone-coped brick parapet with plain stone pinnacles. The west entrance has a plain moulded ashlar arch leading to a plank door, while the top stage has blind segmental-headed windows with inset lights.

Inside, the church has a four-bay roof with king post trusses, braces, and iron straps. The double-chamfered chancel arch includes corbels, and the chancel roof features stop-chamfered members and boarding. Most fittings date from the 1870s; the chancel has enriched panelling and an altar rail on arched supports, with plain pews that have blind tracery at the ends. The pulpit, possibly reconstructed, features early 17th-century enriched round-arched panels and late 17th-century foliate panels, topped with a cornice that has an egg-and-dart design. The prayer desk has a similar cornice and linen-fold panels. An octagonal Perpendicular font is plain but has a rich string course and cornice on a mid-17th-century base with faceted panels, along with some 17th-century graffiti. There is also a painted charity panel from the 1870s. The church contains some 19th and 20th-century stained glass, including a notable 19th-century east window.
