Description

The Church of St Peter is a Grade I listed building dating from the 14th to 15th century, built on the site of a likely Roman Christian church. The exterior features a single storey made of flint and coursed rubble, incorporating fragments of Roman brick, with a tiled roof and restored lancet windows. The northwest tower is crenellated, and the rear elevation has a half hipped roof. Inside, the church has a nave and two aisles that date back to the 12th century, with a four-bay nave and restored double and triple lancet windows. The wooden roof adds to the interior's character, which includes a piscina and a 13th-century sanctuary with an Easter Sepulchre. There is a Norman font topped with a 17th-century lid on a pulley attached to a wrought iron bracket, along with Georgian wall monuments and a late 17th-century mace rest. The Church of St Peter, along with Nos 12, 13, and 13A, forms a group.
