Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a church, largely dating from around 1500, with remaining fabric from the 14th and 11th centuries, and restored in the 1860s. In 1895, a chancel was added, designed by J D Sedding. It is constructed of limestone rubble with an ashlar tower and a tile roof. The church comprises a west tower, nave, a south porch, and a lower chancel.

The three-stage tower is distinguished by string courses, diagonal buttresses, and an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles and gargoyles. The bell openings are deeply splayed with hoods and feature two trefoiled ogee lights under pointed heads, topped with quatrefoils. The west window of the tower has three trefoiled ogee lights with 19th-century Geometrical tracery. The nave also has an embattled parapet; its window tracery was renewed in the 19th century.

On the north side, a window contains four cinquefoiled lights under a flat head with Perpendicular tracery. To its right is a window with two trefoiled ogee lights under a pointed head bearing a quatrefoil. To the west of the porch, a blocked doorway features a roll-moulded round arch, angle shafts with scalloped capitals, an inner square order, and a tympanum carved with false voussoirs and intersecting incised decoration. On the south side, to the west of the porch, a window has two trefoiled lights under a pointed head. To the right is a window with four cinquefoiled lights under a flat head with Perpendicular tracery. The gabled porch, added in the 19th century, has a moulded pointed outer doorway with angle shafts. The inner doorway has a roll-moulded round arch, angle shafts with scalloped capitals, and an inner square order.

The chancel, comprising two bays, has windows of two trefoiled ogee lights under pointed heads. The east window is of five trefoiled ogee lights under a pointed traceried head. A foundation stone is dated "1894."

Inside, the pointed and moulded tower arch is notable. The nave roof displays four 19th-century pine trusses with turned king-posts and arch-braced collars. A moulded and pointed 19th-century chancel arch bridges the nave and chancel. A rood stair is located to the south. A 13th-century piscina is set within the north wall of the nave. The octagonal font is of 15th-century origin and has quatrefoil panels.
