Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a small church made of flint and stone, featuring a Norman nave and a 13th-century chancel. At the west end, there is a small open bell cote that replaced a tower, which was demolished in 1840 after a storm rendered it unsafe in 1827. The church is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The south doorway is Norman, adorned with chevron ornamentation, and has a medieval oak door that is studded and fitted with iron hinges. The north doorway dates from the 14th to 15th century. The south wall of the nave features a Norman window alongside one from the 15th century. The roof includes carved tie beams, one of which has a crown post. Inside, there is a 17th-century octagonal pulpit and a square Norman font that is plastered. Notable interior features include a wall monument dedicated to James Alington, who died in 1627, as well as several 17th-century pews. The church is recognized for its architectural and historical significance.
