Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church incorporating fabric from the mid-12th century, with a chancel rebuilt in the early 20th century and a north aisle reconstructed in the early 19th century. A west tower dates from the 14th century, and a north chapel was added around the same time, with a south porch built in the early 20th century. The church is constructed of red sandstone ashlar, with tiled roofs.

The west tower, of three stages, features diagonal buttressing and an embattled parapet with replaced 20th-century crocketed finials; two original finials flank the approach to the south porch. The nave, partly restored from Norman origins, has a string course and a corbel table featuring heads and paired heads. Two semicircular engaged shafts rise from the plinth to the string course, with double shafts and a central spur, continuing as single shafts with associated capitals east of the porch. There are three restored Norman windows, and a restored trefoiled two-light window to the west. The doorway is protected by an early 20th-century timber-framed and heavily restored porch with double shafts and a zig-zag ornamented arch. The chancel has a blocked doorway and a Norman window to the west, and a two-light window to the east, dating to the early 20th century.

Inside, the restored chancel arch has two plain orders with imbricated ornament, supported by responds of paired columns with nook shafts and scallop capitals. The north wall of the chancel contains an original Norman window, now enclosed by the later north chapel. The arcade of three bays has drum piers and responds with scallop capitals. The tower arch is a late 14th-century acutely pointed arch of three chamfered orders. The nave and chancel roofs are probably 19th-century, arch-braced-collar type with moulded members; the north aisle has a 19th-century hammer-beam roof.

Notable fittings include an unusual pedestal font, probably 14th century, with an octagonal bowl featuring a large paired petalled motif on each facet and heavily moulded top. A Jacobean pulpit is also present. The north Blount chapel contains two polychrome tomb chests from the 16th century, with recumbent effigies in contemporary dress; one commemorates Robert Blount (died 24th May 1573) and his wife Anne, with figures of children in low relief bearing name labels. On the west side is an inscription reading "Jhon Gildon of Hereforde made this towmes anno domini 1577". The second tomb commemorates Walter Blount (1561) and his wife Isabel (1562-3). Two wall monuments are on the north wall; the eastern one, dating circa 1702, is a good example in white marble with garlands, putti, and obelisks and was executed by John Bacon. The west tower contains two hatchments.
