Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church dating from the mid-14th century. The nave was demolished in 1790, and the chancel was consolidated and restored at that time. All the windows were replaced in 1870. The church is constructed of flint with ashlar dressings and some brick, topped with a pantile roof. The west wall features a bell turret from 1790 that reuses a double hollow chamfered west doorway. Above this doorway is a 15th-century tabernacle frieze consisting of seven panels, with the central three panels being ogeed and cusped, containing high relief figures, while the remaining panels display shields within cusping. Above the frieze is a decorative band of triangular and circular flushwork, and a plaque commemorating the events of 1790 sits below a 15th-century nodding and cusped ogee. The church has diagonal buttresses on the sides, and the bell turret is louvred beneath a leaded broach spire. There are stepped side buttresses on the north and south flanks, featuring three Perpendicular 2-light windows with flushwork panels. The south side includes a wave moulded priests' door, a brick saw-toothed eaves cornice, and diagonal east buttresses. The east window is a transomed 3-light Perpendicular design. A covered walk leads from the southeast corner to a Sunday school building, both constructed in 1870.

Inside, the church features a king-post roof with collars on straight braces, one 15th-century poppyhead bench end, and a polygonal 16th-century linenfold pulpit with a moulded base and top rail, standing on a later box plinth. The font is an excellent 14th-century octagonal design with traceried details; the stem has a 2-light reticulated window motif, while the bowl features alternating 2-light motifs in each panel, combining reticulated and early Perpendicular lozenge tracery. The chancel includes a cusped and ogeed piscina with encircled quatrefoils in the spandrels, each containing a blank shield.
