Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is an Anglican church, now converted into flats. It was built between 1834 and 1835 by Sir Charles Barry. The sanctuary, west front, and tower with spire were added in 1842-4 by Roumieu and Gough. The church is constructed of white Suffolk brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. The building consists of a short sanctuary, a nave, transepts, north and south aisles, a north-west tower with a spire. The west end has a gabled portal with moulded decorations and door panels featuring blank tracery, flanked by a small three-bay arcade and buttresses. Above this portal is an open, stepped arcade of three lights with stepped lancet windows. Two small, square towers with pinnacles are located to the south. The main tower has a gabled entrance on its north side, and the spire is square but chamfered, with lucarnes on each cardinal direction. Piers at the corners of the tower are topped with pinnacles that are linked to the spire by flying buttresses. Lancet windows are set between gabled buttresses along the nave, topped by a parapet. The transepts are one bay deep with triple stepped lancet windows and a matching cornice. The easternmost bay of the chancel is short, with a lower gabled roof and a triple stepped lancet east window. During conversion to flats, all internal features were removed and new floors were inserted.
