Description
The Parish Church of St Peter is a Grade II* listed building, featuring a round tower from the 11th century, with the remainder of the church largely rebuilt in 1858. The structure is constructed from flint and knapped flint with stone dressings, topped by a Westmorland slate roof. The church includes a west tower, nave, north and south aisles, north and south transepts, and a chancel. The west tower has a two-centred arch with a hood mould above a two-light 14th-century window on the west side. It features narrow windows with brick semi-circular arches and a blocked diamond profile sound hole to the west. There are four belfry openings with rebuilt brick and stone semi-circular arches, a 19th-century string course, and a battlemented flushwork parapet. Broken Roman roof tiles are incorporated into the tower.
The north aisle consists of three bays, with a re-set north door, while the south aisle also has three bays and a gabled porch. Both the north and south transepts have stone parapet gables and verges. The chancel has two bays, all featuring windows in the Decorated style. The nave comprises four bays with Decorated and Perpendicular style arcades. The roof includes arch braces alternating with scissor trusses, and the chancel has a barrel roof. Inside, there is a 13th-century octagonal font bowl adorned with a blind arcade of cusped arches, set on a 19th-century base. A brass featuring a coat of arms is located on the east wall of the north transept.
