Church of St Peter and St Andrew

The Church of St Peter and St Andrew is a parish church dating back to the early 13th century, with the chancel and nave partly rebuilt in the mid 14th century. It was restored in 1863-4 by Sir Gilbert Scott, who added a north chancel aisle, a south porch, and a spire during that time.

The church is constructed of flint with Bath stone and chalk dressings, and has an old tile gabled roof with a shingled broach spire. The plan includes a continuous nave and chancel, a north chancel aisle, a west tower and spire, and a south porch.

The west tower has one-stage buttresses with offsets. It features three lancet windows at the ground stage and four single-light windows in the bell chamber, one on each wall; the south window is four-centred, the others are pointed. A small square-headed light sits above the west window of the ringing chamber. A 19th-century door with a pointed arch is on the west face.

The north side of the nave has four square-headed C14 windows, restored, with the leftmost window containing three lights and the others two lights. These windows are divided by mullions carried through to the head, creating trefoiled lights with a trefoil in the head of each division. A section of an old brick relieving arch is visible between the second and third windows.

The south side of the nave mirrors the north side in design and arrangement. The gabled porch is located between the second and third windows, and is timber-framed with a scissor-braced roof, bench seats, and cusped side panelling above a solid panelled dado. A pointed and chamfered chalk arch frames a 19th-century plank door.

The north side of the chancel aisle contains a two-light window similar to those in the nave, with a pointed doorway to the west. The east and west windows of the chancel aisle are also two-light and date to the 19th century. Square buttresses are positioned at the angles of the north wall.

The south side of the chancel has a three-light window matching those of the nave. To its left is a lancet and a small door within a pointed arch.

The interior features a two-bay, 19th-century arcade opening into the chancel aisle. The roof is supported by 19th-century crown posts and collar purlins. There is a large aumbry on either side of the altar. A notable feature is the early 17th-century octagonal font, with a moulded stem and an upper part panelled with quatrefoiled arches, incorporating leaves and symbolic devices. Fragments of 14th-century glass remain in the head of the easternmost window on the north wall of the nave, the window to its west, the westernmost window of the south wall, and the easternmost window of the south wall of the nave.
