Description

St Peter's Church, built in 1837-8, was designed by Edward Blore. It is constructed of grey brick with white stucco and is executed in a plain Norman style. A small turret tops the porch gable, featuring a ridged copper roof and a cross. The church forms a group with St Peter's Vicarage and the garden wall.
