Church Of St Peter And St Paul

The Church of St Peter and St Paul is a parish church that dates back to the late 13th century. It features a west tower from the same period, along with nave arcades built in the late 13th and 14th centuries. The church underwent significant restorations in the 19th century, including the rebuilding of the chancel in 1851 and the restoration of the west tower in 1874. The exterior is constructed from pebbles and fieldstones, with clunch dressings around the windows and doors, and limestone used for the quoins. The original wall material has been covered with broken pieces of limestone ashlar, and most of the clunch dressings have been replaced with Ketton stone. The roofs are made of slate.

The west tower consists of three stages and features a 19th-century brick embattlement, two-light openings for the bell stage, and a west window. The nave includes a 19th-century clerestorey with three quatrefoil openings designed in the style of the 14th century. The south aisle has also been restored, showcasing work from the late 13th or early 14th century, while the chancel was rebuilt in the 19th century.

Inside, the church has north and south nave arcades with three bays each, featuring two-centred arches that are made up of two chamfered orders on octagonal columns with moulded capitals, although the bases are obscured. The north arcade has moulded labels with mask stops on both sides. The tower arch consists of three chamfered arches, with the inner arch resting on half-octagonal responds with moulded capitals and bases. The chancel arch resembles that of the nave arcade.

The font is made of limestone from the 13th century and has an octagonal basin on a square stem, with polygonal shafts on each side. There are also brasses located west of the chancel arch, depicting Thomas Hatton and his wife from 1540, featuring male and female figures with shields of arms above and indents for two groups of children, along with an inscription. In the chancel, there is a male figure with an inscription plate, which is medieval in origin.
