Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church with origins dating back to the 12th century, primarily developed in the 14th and 15th centuries, with some 19th-century repairs. It is constructed of fieldstone with clunch dressings that have been repaired in limestone, and features both slate and tiled roofs. The church comprises a nave, chancel, and a south porch. The west wall of the nave was rebuilt around 1885 and includes a gabled bellcot. The south wall features two restored 14th-century windows, each with two lights and reticulated tracery, one of which has a square head. The windows also incorporate reused 12th-century shafts in their mullions, and there is later two-stage buttressing. The south porch, dating from the 17th century, has been largely rebuilt and is made of timber framing and red brick. The chancel, from the 15th century, has two windows in the south wall, each with three cinquefoil lights and vertical tracery, as well as an east window of similar design.

Inside, the church features a 15th-century chancel arch that is two-centred and consists of two orders: a continuous ogee outer order and a wave-moulded inner order, supported by responds with half columns that have embattled capitals and high moulded bases. The chancel arch has been partly reused at the west end of the nave to create a vestry. The nave roof, also from the 15th century, has an octagonal crown post with a moulded capital and base, and features two-way bracing to the collar purlin on the tie beam, with shallow arch bracing and pierced spandrel work. The wall plate of the nave roof has an embattled cornice. The font is from the 15th century, and the pulpit, dating from the early 17th century, is set on a modern base.
