Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church built around 1844 by J. Turner in the Early English style, with aisles and a chancel added between 1882 and 1883. It is constructed from grey vitreous brick with stone dressings and features slate gabled and coped roofs. The church consists of a nave, north and south aisles, a chancel, a north transept that includes an organ chamber and vestry, a south transept with a Lady Chapel, a northwest tower, and a southwest porch. The east wall of the nave has diagonal buttresses, and there is a brick plinth with stone capping and a moulded stone string course beneath the windows, which extends over the porch as a hoodmould.

The nave has three gabled dormers with 2-light trefoiled windows on each side, creating clerestoreys. The aisles contain 2-light plate traceried windows, while the chancel's east window and the west windows of the nave and south aisle feature 3-light geometrical tracery. The tower is composed of three stages, with a moulded stone string at each stage and angled buttresses reaching the second stage. It has a moulded stone cornice, a balustraded parapet, and crocketted pinnacles at each corner, along with a clock on all four faces. A bulls-eye window is located in the second stage, and the third stage has single light pointed arched openings with louvres. The entrance doors are set under a 2-centred arch with shafted jambs, moulded bases, and leaf head decorations.

Inside, the church has a five-bay nave with a plain thin arch braced collar roof. The north and south arcades feature 2-centred arches supported by plain columns with moulded heads and capitals, each adorned with a crocket in the corners. Notable interior features include a carved stone reredos, frescoes by I. Pace from 1905, a stone pulpit with cable and diaper mouldings, fleuron and dogtooth ornamentation, and carved effigies of the Evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The font is also carved from stone and consists of a bowl and stem. Stained glass can be found in the east chancel window and the west windows of the nave and aisle.
