Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church dating from around 1200, featuring a nave, north and south aisles, and a 15th-century bell turret. A 20th-century south porch incorporates old timbers. The original chancel, of unknown date, was demolished and replaced by a large building constructed around 1966 by Donald Insall and Associates. The original church is made of plastered stone rubble, flint, and brick, with a red plain tiled roof and a shingle spire.

The west wall includes a 15th-century window with three cinquefoil lights and vertical tracery above, set in a two-centred head with a label that has head stops. Below this window is a blocked 15th-century doorway with chamfered jambs and a three-centre arched head. The north aisle features a 19th or 20th-century two-centre arched window with a square label above, and four buttresses support this wall. The eastern part of the north wall has a 19th or 20th-century three-light window with a square head and label. There is also a 14th-century north doorway with a chamfered two-centre arch and a vertically boarded door.

On the south aisle's wall, there are two restored windows with two trefoil lights under square heads. The gabled weatherboarded south porch has a cambered tie beam. The larger and taller 20th-century extension has a hanging tile or shingle plinth and continuous windows on the north and south sides, topped with a large, steeply pitched red tiled roof. The east wall is made of stone and brick, with the centre breaking forward and featuring returns of stained glass.

Inside, the nave roof consists of seven cants, supported by a heavy cambered tie beam that holds a four-armed cross quadrate crown post. The north and south arcades have three bays with two-centred arches of two hollow chamfered orders, with columns and responds that are alternatively round and oval. The moulded capitals are carved with stiff leaf foliage in different designs, and the bases are also moulded. The bell turret has angle posts, east two-centre arched bracing, and three pairs of side girts on the north and south, with upper saltire bracing and centre posts. The font, now located in the 20th-century extension, has an octagonal bowl with quatrefoiled panels enclosing square flowers, though its date is unknown. There are stained glass quarries in the southeast window of the south aisle.
