Description

The Church of St Peter is a Grade II* listed building located on Bridge High Street. It features a chancel, a nave with aisles, and a tower at the west end of the south aisle topped with a broached shingled spire. The church is constructed of stone and was originally a chapel of ease to Patrixbourne, but it underwent significant rebuilding by the architect George Gilbert Scott between 1859 and 1861.

Notable architectural features include a Norman doorway that has been reset in the north transept, as well as another doorway in the west wall of the nave, both adorned with waterleaf capitals. The arcades of the church contain remnants of 12th and 13th-century work. An unusual and well-crafted carved panel from the Late Perpendicular period, resembling a Norman tympanum, has been reset in the chancel wall. Additionally, there is an early 16th-century reclining effigy monument, along with body stones in the churchyard and tombstones that are intricately carved with shells, cherubs' heads, and skulls.
