Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a small church primarily dating from the 14th century, with a tower rebuilt in 1808, and repairs in 1822 and 1826. A restoration took place between 1877 and 1878, overseen by Edwin Dolby of Abingdon, which included the construction of the south vestry. The church is built of ironstone ashlar, with stone slate roofing to the chancel (laid in diminishing courses), and slate roofs to the nave and tower. The chancel has red ornamental ridge tiles, and crosses adorn the nave and chancel.

The church comprises a chancel, an aisled nave, and a west tower. It is mainly in the Decorated style, exhibiting a Perpendicular clerestory. The chancel features a three-light east window with reticulated tracery, and two north windows - a paired lancet and another with traceried heads – along with a matching window to the south. A simple stone porch with a pointed arched doorway and plank door sits to the north aisle, which also has paired lancets, a three-light window with intersecting tracery, and a three-light window with curvilinear tracery. The gabled south porch has a pointed arched doorway, a plank door, and a renewed slate roof. A re-used Romanesque Priest's door, with a round arched head and plank door, is on the right side. The south aisle includes a three-light Geometrical east window, two paired lancets with trefoiled heads, pointed arched hoodmoulds with carved headstops, and another square-headed window. The clerestory features three two-light Perpendicular windows. A parapet tops the structure.

The 19th-century west tower has three stages and a hipped slate roof, built in the Early English style with lancets, one incorporating dog tooth decoration. Bands mark the first and second stages. The east elevation of the chancel displays two exterior wall memorials to the Jackman family, dating from 1643, 1662, and 1672.

Inside, the church contains a piscina in both the chancel and south aisle and a Decorated three-seat sedilia in the south aisle. The chancel and nave have 19th-century roofs. The three-bay nave arcades are supported by octagonal piers and moulded capitals; the arcade facing the south door includes a carving of a head and interlaced arms. A 19th-century pulpit incorporates 17th-century panels. A stone chest tomb is located in the vestry, along with a memorial to R. Lodowick Grevil from 1441. Several 17th-century memorials commemorate former rectors. An arched tomb recess is found in the north aisle. A plain tub-shaped font is also present.
