Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church dating from the 14th century and later. It is constructed of flint with ashlar dressings, featuring slate and plain tile roofs, as well as some brick and ferruginous conglomerate. The church has a polygonal west tower, a four-bay aisled nave with a south porch, and a chancel. The western tower has an octagonal upper two stages and lower two stages that form an irregular hexagon, with offsets and moulded string courses at the base of each stage. There are a pair of staged buttresses at the corners. The west window is a Perpendicular style three-light panel-traceried window, and there are four two-light bell openings beneath four-centred arches. The tower is topped with a crenellated parapet that features flushwork arcading and gargoyles. There are moulded 14th-century doorways on the north and south sides of the nave, five cusped two-light Y-traceried windows in the main aisle, simple two-light Y-traceried windows to the west, one 15th-century panel-traceried window in the northeast, and one three-light Victorian Perpendicular window to the south. The clear-storey has six quatrefoil windows. The chancel has angle buttresses, one buttress to the south, three two-light 14th-century cusped Y-traceried windows, and one 14th-century cusped lancet window with an ogee head to the north. The south porch, built in the 17th or 18th century, is made of brick and has remnants of stucco ashlaring with a moulded arched entrance.

Inside, the nave features 14th-century arcades on quatrefoil piers with small rolls in the angles and facetted bell capitals. The arches are of two hollow chamfered orders, and the chancel arch has been restored in a similar style. The tower arch is plain and chamfered without responds. There is a cusped piscina in the chancel and a 13th-century irregular octagonal font with carved blind arcading of moulded two-centred arches, supported by four columns surrounding a larger central columnar stem. A fine late-medieval bronze eagle lectern is also present.
