Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church built between 1866 and 1867 by J Colson. It is constructed of flint with stone dressings and has an old plain tile roof. The layout includes a chancel with a north vestry and organ chamber, south and north transeptal chapels, and a nave with aisles, along with a tower located in the southwest corner that features a south door.

The chancel has a three-light Perpendicular east window that mimics the east vestry window, along with a reused 15th-century three-light trefoiled window with a traceried head and diagonal buttresses. The south side has a central buttress with a single trefoiled light and a square-headed two-light window. On the north side, there is a door leading to the vestry and single lights. The transeptal chapels are as tall as the chancel and feature three-light Perpendicular windows, with the south chapel containing a circa 1300 two-light pointed window.

The nave is tall and has trefoils high in the gables, with outshot aisles that have buttresses between the bays and reused 14th-century square-headed two or three-light trefoiled windows. To the west of the north aisle, there is a mid-12th-century two-light lancet window with a circular light in the head, and a large pointed trefoil window in the west of the nave. The southwest corner contains the tower, which has buttresses at the bottom stage, a pointed south door, and a west half-octagonal stair tower leading to the second stage, featuring a south window with two pointed lights and a round light in the head. The top stage is offset and has three separate bell openings on each face, topped with a short broach spire.

Inside the chancel, there is slurred glass, and the rear arch of the east window has shafts supporting a keel mould. Below this is a painted reredos, and the chancel features a painted barrel-vaulted roof with ribwork on foliage corbels, along with a pointed chancel arch on foliage corbels. The arcades are supported by round piers with free Decorated foliage. In the south transept, the east window is set in a large rear arch with a trefoiled niche, and there is stained glass in the aisles. The font is a Norman Purbeck type, resembling a table top on a short round column with a square base. The nave has a king post roof, and the aisles feature arch braces on corbels. The southwest corner has a tower with a door leading into the nave.
