Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church with Norman origins that was rebuilt in the 1270s, featuring a 14th-century tower and much of the remaining structure dating from the 15th century. The chancel was rebuilt in 1934, and the entire church underwent restoration in 1905. The building has an ashlar west tower, a brick nave, transepts, and a stone chancel, all covered by slate roofs.

The tower is three stages high, but appears to have four stages externally, with diagonal buttresses on the west side and stepped buttresses on the east. It features a three-light west window and cusped petal tracery on the square ventilation lights of the ringing chamber. The belfry has two-light windows, and the tower is topped with a crenellated parapet and a short spire. The nave has three three-light Perpendicular windows on both the north and south sides, separated by stepped buttresses. There is a plain brick porch on the north side, and a gabled vestry built in 1922 is located where the south porch once was. The transepts are gabled with diagonal buttresses and have four-light Perpendicular main windows. A bell-cote is situated on the east gable of the nave, and the chancel features a Mansard roof along with a four-light Perpendicular east window.

Inside, the church has a triple-chamfered tower arch and double-chamfered transept arches. The chancel arch is hollow and wave-moulded with circular responds. The nave roof consists of alternating tie beam and hammer beam trusses, with crenellated ties that have arched braces, pierced spandrels, and moulded queen posts. The hammer beams are adorned with carved figures of apostles, and there are two tiers of moulded butt purlins and a ridge piece. The font, which represents the Seven Sacraments, has a plain octagonal stem and low relief carving on the bowl, with the eighth panel depicting Christ Enthroned. At the east end of the nave, there is a brass memorial to Adam Outlawe, who is depicted in clerical dress and dates from 1503.
