Church Of St Peter And St Paul

The Church of St Peter and St Paul is a parish church dating from around 1200, with extensions from the 14th century and extensive restoration in 1868. It is constructed of flint and has plain tiled roofs. The church features a chancel with north and south chapels, a nave with aisles, a northwest tower, and a north porch. The two-stage tower has a broach spire and lucarnes, with a heavily restored exterior that includes lancets in the south aisle and south wall of the chancel, while other windows are from the 19th or 15th centuries.

Inside, the nave has a north arcade from around 1200, consisting of two chamfered arches on a square pier and responds with simple abaci, along with a similar arch leading from the north aisle to the tower. The south arcade, dating from the 14th century, has three double hollow chamfered arches on octagonal piers and a similar arch to the south chapel. The roof features four crown posts. The chancel arch is a simple 12th-century arch on abaci with clasped attached shafts. The chancel contains one south lancet and a crenellated wall plate, while the north and south chapels each have roofs with three crown posts and crenellated and moulded wall plates, along with simple chamfered arches leading to the chancel.

Fittings in the church include a cusped piscina, a trefoil-headed niche, and an arched aumbrey in the chancel, as well as a chamfered piscina in the south chapel. There is a full set of 19th-century fittings, including a reredos, altar rails, a double-decker pulpit, box pews, choir stalls and benches, and an octagonal font. Notable monuments include a white marble wall tablet on the south wall of the chancel dedicated to John Hulse, who died in 1681, featuring scrolled and foliated Ionic pilasters, a cherub's head, a draped urn, and a swan-necked pediment, all set on a base adorned with cherubs' heads, brackets, and swags.
