Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church primarily built in the 14th and 15th centuries, with the core of the south-west tower possibly dating to an earlier period. The church is constructed of flint with limestone and brick dressings, and it features lead-covered shallow-pitched roofs. The building includes a small, square unbuttressed tower at the south-west corner, which has a castellated parapet with brick dressings and red brick quoins in the upper section, while the lower section has stone quoins. The tower has single-light bell openings.

The church's roof is continuous over the nave and chancel, with shallow-pitched roofs and coped parapets. The west end features a three-light Decorated window, and there is a doorway in the west wall of the south aisle. The south wall of the aisle has a Perpendicular three-light window. The nave and chancel windows generally display Decorated flowing tracery, including a three-light east window with leaf-forms springing from the center and outer panels with ogee heads. The east and west walls are supported by diagonal staged buttresses.

Inside, the south arcade consists of three bays with octagonal piers and double hollow-chamfered arches. The south aisle roof has roll-moulded rafters and purlins, with alternate principal rafters featuring arch-braces on wall posts and corbels adorned with carved spandrels. The nave roof has cambered tie beams with a chamfered butted ridge and side-purlins. There are rood loft stairs on the south side of the chancel, which lacks a chancel arch. The chancel south wall contains a 15th-century piscina and triple sedilia grouped under a single square label mould. In the north-east corner of the chancel, there is a notable alabaster monument to William Peck, who died in 1635, and his wife, created by Edward Marshall. This monument features two reclining shrouded figures beneath a coffered arch, topped with a scrolled broken pediment on black marble columns. Additionally, there is a 12th-century tub-font with a square base supported by round columns.
