Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter, built between 1889 and 1892 by architects J D Sedding and H Wilson, is a Grade II* listed building designed in a free Gothic style. It features a three-bay nave and a two-bay choir, constructed from yellow stock brick with stone mouldings, arches, quoins, buttresses, and tracery. The nave is aisled, and the choir includes side chapels. Each bay of the nave has a three-bay Early-English style triforium gallery supported by a segmental arch. The exterior of the nave boasts a tall, steep-pitched roof with a series of segmental arches connecting turrets at half-height, which correspond to the internal arcade piers. The west front is highlighted by a large window with Decorated tracery, divided into three lights by step-buttresses that feature tracery screens linking to the recessed window behind a large arch. Above this, there is a gable. The west window is flanked by narrow turrets with battlements and thin spirelets, and the building is topped with slate roofs.
