Church Of St Peter And St Paul

The Church of St Peter and St Paul is a parish church dating from the medieval period. It is constructed primarily of flint and ironbound conglomerate, with brick and stone dressings. The roofs are tiled, with red pantile and smut pantile sections. The church consists of a west tower, a nave, a south porch, and a chancel.

The west tower is embattled and dates to the 13th century. It features a south doorway with a continuous chamfer, a slit light with a triangular head to the south, and Y-traceried bell openings. Brick battlements top the tower. The nave, of four bays, has post-medieval brick buttresses and conglomerate quoins to the north-west and south-west corners. A 14th-century Decorated window of two lights is situated to the left of the south porch. There are two three-light square-headed windows with panel tracery; some brickwork is visible on the mullions, and they are topped with hood moulds. A 15th-century brick rood stair is present, with knapped flint diapering and a small two-light moulded brick window with round-headed lights. To the north is a doorway with continuous chamfered moulding, and a similar single square-headed window. A blocked archway, possibly leading to a former chapel, is visible, with a small two-light square-headed window above. The chancel is unbuttressed and partially rendered to the south, featuring two two-light Decorated windows. A north chancel doorway has a continuous hollow-chamfered moulding with a hood mould. The east wall is from the 19th century, incorporating a 19th-century three-light Decorated window. A buttressed south porch features Y-tracery lights to the east and west, now blocked. The porch is constructed with square knapped flint, and has an archway with polygonal shafts, undercut capitals, four orders to the arch (with one deep hollow), a hood mould with an ogee head returning to enclose two trefoils and topped by a finial. The nave doorway is chamfered, with an ogee hood mould, a finial, and decorated stops. A small light is located at the base of the tower.

The interior features a 17th-century nave roof of three bays, with tie beams and two rows of butt purlins. A rere-arch is visible to the 14th-century south nave window, featuring slim shafts, a moulded arch, and a hood mould. Similar rere-arches are present in the south chancel, one having foliated capitals and the other polygonal capitals. A double piscina has cusped ogee arches and four clustered shafts to the centre. Remains of sedilia are present. The chancel roof dates to 1898. A rood screen is also present, along with a 17th-century pulpit originally from North Barningham church. A 15th-century octagonal font has cusped panels to the base and shields to the bowl.
