Description

The Church of St Peter is the old parish church of Farnborough, with medieval origins. The north and part of the west walls date from the 12th and 13th centuries, while the remaining nave, aisles, and transepts are modern. The aisles are covered by a red tile roof, which features dormers over the nave. At the west end, there is a 17th-century timber tower with a slate pyramid roof and boarded walling. The church also has a fine open timbered porch from the 15th century, and modern walling is constructed in ashlar stonework.

Inside, there is a fragment of wall painting from around 1300 depicting Saints Eugenia, Agnes, and Maria. The interior also features a 17th-century gallery supported by timber columns and a painted Royal Coat of Arms of George III, dated 1815.
