Parish Church Of St Peter

The parish church of St Peter consists of a chancel dating to circa 1270-80, a nave rebuilt in the 15th century, and a west tower added in the late 15th century. Restoration work occurred in 1884-5, with reconstruction of the chancel, and a south porch was added in 1890. The building is constructed of Weldon limestone rubble and field stones, with dressings of Ketton and Barnack limestone. The roofs are covered in plain tiles and lead.

The south elevation features a two-stage tower with a chamfered plinth and embattled parapet. The second stage contains a single cinquefoiled-light window with a moulded label. The nave has a chamfered plinth, a projecting parapet, and pilaster strips rising from buttresses. It has two late 15th-century windows, each of three cinquefoiled lights within four-centred heads, accompanied by moulded labels. A late 13th-century doorway features a two-centred arch with a single stop-chamfered order and shafted jambs: one capital is moulded and carved with oak foliage, the other has a moulded base. The chancel has a moulded plinth and string course below the windows. There are two sets of graded lancet-lights with chamfered jambs. A priest's doorway with a two-centred head has two hollow-chamfered orders and a moulded string; adjoining it is a low-side window with a square head.

Inside, notable wall paintings depict St Christopher and St Anthony. The tower arch is two-centred, with a hollow-chamfered, continuous outer order and a wave-moulded inner order, featuring semi-circular responds with semi-octagonal capitals and moulded bases. A doorway in the east wall leads to the roof and has a two-centred arch in a square head. A blocked 15th-century north doorway to the nave has chamfered jambs and a four-centred head. The late 13th-century chancel arch is two-centred, with two chamfered orders, the inner featuring semi-circular attached shafts with moulded capitals and bases, and a moulded label to the nave. North and south wall arcades have three bays with two-centred arches and a single chamfered order with moulded labels. The second and third northern arches descend to seat recesses; the third arch in the south wall incorporates the priest’s doorway and low-side window. The early 15th-century nave roof comprises three bays with moulded and cambered tie beams, short king posts, moulded purlins, and ridges. The chancel roof incorporates reused 14th-century timbers. A font from the early 18th century is octagonal, baluster shaped, with a shallow bowl. A piscine is set into the chancel floor, featuring a circular drain and moulded square head. A pulpit also dates to the early 18th century. A sundial is positioned on the second buttress of the south wall of the nave. Fragments of early masonry are visible in the north nave wall.
