Description
The Church of St Peter is a Grade II* listed building constructed between 1860 and 1861 by architect G.E. Street in a neo-Gothic style. It features knapped flint with Bath stone dressings and red brick lacing courses, topped with tiled roofs that change pitch over the aisle. The church comprises a nave, north aisle, north porch, chancel, and vestry, and is supported by angle and clasping buttresses. The east side has a cill string, parapeted gable ends, and a bellcote on the west with two trefoil arched openings.
On the north aisle, there are four trefoil-headed lancet windows on the left, and a doorway on the right with a chamfered arch, moulded imposts, and two boarded doors. The gabled north porch has a moulded arch and two 20th-century wrought iron gates. The chancel's north side features a trefoil-headed window on the left and a lean-to vestry on the right, which has two trefoil-headed lights facing east and a segmental arched boarded door to the north. The south side has two two-light windows with Y-tracery. The east end showcases a large quatrefoiled circular window set in an arched recess, flanked by two smaller quatrefoils below.
The nave's south side includes a two-light window on the left and a three-light window on the right with trefoiled tracery. The west front is dominated by a large four-light window with foiled plate tracery and a hoodmould featuring carved stops, along with two trefoil-headed lights in the aisle to the left.
Inside, the church has a four-bay north aisle arcade supported by circular piers with foliated capitals and chamfered arches decorated with nailhead motifs. The chancel arch is chamfered and has a hoodmould with carved stops. The east window features nook shafts and nailhead decoration. Notable fittings include a semi-circular stone pulpit with a foliated frieze and an arcaded square font. The stained glass is by Kempe.
