Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter, built in 1868 by Edwin Doby, is a Victorian Gothic single cell structure located on Newbury Road in Kingsclere. It features a prominent tile roof adorned with decorative ridge tiling. The walls are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, accented with flush blue banding and a stone plinth moulding around the east end and the porch. There is one buttress on each long side of the building. The openings include brick jambs with stone heads and cills, coupled lancets (with one single lancet), a three-light east window with Geometrical tracery, and a circular cusped light above two lancets at the west end. The porch has a steep gable and a pointed arch, while the vestry at the south of the east end features a half-hipped roof topped with a bell turret. Inside, the church has a boarded ceiling, red brick walls with blue banding, and a decorative tiled floor. The font is a square block set on a circular drum, supported by four corner columns, and the reading desk-pulpit is a brass lectern. The building remains unaltered.
