Church Of St Peter Parmentergate

The Church of St Peter Parmentergate is a former parish church that is now redundant. It dates from the late 15th century and early 16th century and is constructed of flint with stone and brick dressings. The nave has a slate roof, while the chancel features a plain tile roof. The church includes a west tower, nave, chancel, south porch, and east vestry.

The three-stage tower has diagonal buttresses and features a west door with a two-centre arch, carved spandrels, and a shield frieze above. There are two three-light windows and square traceried sound holes above the door, topped with a crenellated parapet. The nave, built around 1490, has four bays and is adorned with four-light Perpendicular windows that have two-centre arches. The two-storied porch has an outer doorway with attached shafts and a two-centre arch with spandrels, along with a two-light window above the doorway.

On the north side of the nave, the east window is partly blocked by a semi-octagonal rood turret from around 1510. The chancel, built around 1510, has two bays and features flat intersecting tracery beneath a four-centre arch, along with a four-light Perpendicular east window with a two-centre arch. The vestry is two-storied and has two three-light and two two-light lancet windows beneath square heads, as well as a central statue niche.

Inside, there is a tower arch and a tall wide chancel arch with attached shafts and a two-centre arch. The nave roof is supported by butt-purlins with the tower attached, and arch-braces spring from wall-posts. In the chancel, there is a tomb of Richard Berney from 1623, featuring two recumbent figures beneath a canopy supported by four columns, with the arms of Hobart and Berney above. A Victorian screen to the chancel incorporates reset 15th-century tracery and figures.
