Description

The Church of St Peter is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period and underwent significant restoration in 1864 and 1874. It features a nave, chancel, west tower, north porch, and south vestry, constructed from random flint and stone rubble with stone dressings. The nave and chancel have remnants of old plaster on the north side and are cement-rendered on the south side, topped with plaintiled roofs.

The 15th-century tower has three-stage diagonal buttresses on the west face and a 19th-century crenellated parapet. It includes panelled flushwork on the plinth and buttresses, a two-light west window, and two-light openings in the bell chamber. The nave, also from the 15th century, has two-light windows, likely renewed, with two on the north and one on the south side, as well as a blocked 15th-century south doorway. The porch was added in 1864.

The north wall of the chancel features a possibly 13th-century lancet window, while the rest of the chancel has been entirely rebuilt. Both the nave and chancel have mid-19th-century arched-braced roofs. The church contains a mid-19th-century font and furnishings, and the south chancel displays an early 18th-century wall monument with a scrolled pediment. The church is graded II* for its medieval work, particularly the tower.
