Description
The Church of St Peter is a parish church, primarily built in the Perpendicular style. It features a flint structure with stone dressings, a slate roof for the nave, and tiled roofs for the chancel. The church includes a west tower, nave, south porch, and chancel. The west tower is designed in the Perpendicular style, with set-off angle buttresses, a west door, and a two-light window. It has four rectangular traceried sound holes for the belfry and four two-light Decorated tracery belfry windows, although one on the south side is missing its tracery. The south porch is also in the Perpendicular style and has a five-panel south door.
On the south wall of the nave, there is one switch tracery window and a three-light straight-headed Perpendicular window. The north wall of the nave contains a blocked north door dating to around 1300 and two two-light Decorated windows. The chancel has one two-light straight-headed Perpendicular window and one Decorated two-light window on the south side, along with a Priest's door. The north side features one two-light Decorated window, while the east window is a four-light intersecting tracery window from around 1500.
Inside, the Perpendicular tower has an arch on responds, and there is a Perpendicular tower door set in a Perpendicular arch. The chancel arch is also Perpendicular and includes doors for stairs and a rood loft. The nave has a piscina on the south wall and stone window embrasure seats at the north and south chancel windows. A rood screen with a loft from around 1900 is present, and the east window features stained glass from 1863. The nave has a mid-19th century arched braced roof supported by mid-19th century corbels. Wall tablets date from 1834 by Smith of Fakenham and 1857 by Patterson of Manchester. The altar area has a black and white marble floor from the 18th century.
