Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a Grade I listed building, dating from the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries. It is constructed of blue lias stone with some Cotswold stone and features plain-tile roofs with coped gables. The church comprises a west tower, nave, south aisle, north porch, and chancel.

The tower, built in the 14th and 15th centuries, is two stages high with battlements, two-light bell-openings, and small angle buttresses. It has a deep-set tall west window from the 15th century. The nave features coved stone eaves and corner buttresses, with a small square light and a two-light Decorated window on the north side, as well as a cusped lancet. The north door has a pointed hollow-chamfer arch, leading to a 16th-century wooden door and a stone gabled north porch with a chamfered pointed arch.

Inside, the nave has a plastered roof supported by three 16th-century tie beams. The south arcade is three bays wide in the Perpendicular style, leading to a 16th-century south chapel that includes a three-light east window, a blocked door, and two two-light south windows. There are niches in the east wall of the aisle and the nave, as well as a small credence in the side wall. An opening leads to a former rood stair, and the chancel arch is moulded in the 15th century.

The chancel features a three-light Perpendicular east window, a cusped lancet on the north side, a pointed arched door, and a two-light Perpendicular window. The south side has a two-light window set in a blocked larger opening and a 16th-century two-light window. There is a small aumbry on the north side and a credence/piscina on the south. Some medieval glass is present in the head of the east window. The altar rails are plain and turned, and the roof is plastered with two tie beams. A Jacobean pulpit and a Perpendicular octagonal font are also present.

Monuments include a 1629 wall memorial in Jacobean style to R Martin of Broad Marston in the south aisle, a carved wall memorial from 1720 signed by E Woodward to R Martin in the chancel, and various early to mid-19th-century marble wall monuments to members of the Shekell family by Lewis.

This small village church remains relatively untouched by 19th-century restoration. Outside the north wall of the nave, there is a weathered medieval stone recumbent effigy of a priest.
