Description
The Church of St. Peter, built in 1841 by Thomas Johnson, is located in Stretton on Fosse. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a plinth, offset buttresses, a moulded cornice, and coped gables with kneelers. The church has a slate roof and consists of a chancel and nave, along with a west tower designed in the Gothic Revival style. The chancel has one bay and includes a vestry to the south. The east side features a four-light window in the Decorated style, complete with a hood mould and foliage carved label stops. The south vestry door is made of planks and is set within a chamfered pointed arch, also with a hood mould and label stops. There is a small one-light cusped window to the east.
The nave comprises four bays, with four two-light cusped windows in the Decorated style on both the north and south sides, each with hood moulds and label stops. The west tower has two stages, featuring double plank doors within a pointed arch chamfered surround on the west side, along with a hood mould and label stops. Above this, there is a two-light cusped window in the Decorated style, also with a hood mould and label stops. The tower has single cusped lights on the north and south sides, and a stair turret light with a chamfered surround on the north, west, and south sides of the second stage. The octagonal bell stage includes a cusped light on each face and gablets, with coping and carved head corbels. At the top, there is a small octagonal spire with a carved finial and weathervane.
Inside, the chancel features a small cusped piscina to the north, set within a chamfered surround. The east side has a stone painted reredos within cusped panels, adorned with fleuron carved decorations above and a small castellated parapet. The east window includes an internal hood mould with foliage label stops. The nave has a 'hammer beam' roof and a wood west gallery supported by square wood piers, which have Early English style shafts on either side, springing to form depressed arches under a panelled gallery parapet. There are simple 19th and 20th-century wall tablets, including one from 1871 and another from 1880, located in the north-east wall of the nave, featuring a foliage carved surround in the Arts and Crafts style.
