Description
The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul is a parish church located on Mill Road in Mautby. It features a late 12th-century west tower with a 14th-century belfry, and a late 13th-century chancel and nave, with the chancel remodeled in the 14th century while retaining its original continuous plan. The church underwent restorations in 1884 and 1984. It is constructed from quaternary flint with Lincolnshire limestone ashlar dressings and Ironpan elements, and has thatched roofs.
The tower is circular with two stages and an octagonal belfry stage from the 14th century. It has a two-light reticulated west window and lacks ringing chamber openings, featuring a set-off below the belfry. The belfry has alternate facets pierced by wide trefoiled lights and is topped with a crenellated parapet. The gabled south porch has continuous mouldings at the entrance arch, while the north doorway is double chamfered and sits below a hood with head stops. The nave has three restored two-light Flowing windows on the north and south sides, and there is one buttress at the east end of the nave. The south chancel has two two-light Y tracery windows flanking the priests' door, which features one hollow chamfer and square imposts. There is also a two-light Y tracery window on the north chancel and a five-light intersecting east window.
Inside, the tower arch has wave mouldings and casements, with one order of shafts that have polygonal capitals. The octagonal font is decorated with eight engaged shafts supporting traceried panels, featuring quatrefoils and shields. The former south aisle is revealed by an octagonal arcade, with piers on bases that have angle spurs and polygonal capitals, and stilted double chamfered arches. The nave roof is boarded. The restored 16th-century chancel screen consists of two bays on each side of a cusped ogee opening, with traceried dado panels and panel tracery below a 19th-century top rail. A founder's tomb is located in the south nave under a broken ogee canopy with crockets, featuring an early 14th-century effigy that is cross-legged and in armor. The chancel includes stepped sedilia and a piscina, both cusped, and the chancel roof has principals on curved braces with two tiers of butt purlins.
