Description

The Church of St Peter and St Paul is a church with Romanesque origins, featuring a chancel from the 13th century. The nave was rebuilt around 1880 by Ewan Christian, while the tower was constructed by W. Sillbee Scott around 1885. The church is built of squared stone in random courses, with ashlar stone dressings, and has plain-tile roofs over the nave and chancel, along with a stone spire atop the tower.

The layout includes a 4-bay nave, a 2-bay chancel, and a west tower. There is an early 20th-century porch to the right of the center of the nave, which has a coursed squared stone plinth and a timber-framed upper portion, topped with a gabled plain-tile roof. The porch features double plank doors leading to a 4-centred archway, and a plank inner door that opens to a round-arched doorway.

On the nave's left side, there is a 19th-century round-headed lancet window and a cusped lancet window. To the right of the nave, there is a two-light window with Perpendicular tracery, which may have a re-sited hood-mould. The chancel has a blocked 2-centred arched doorway on the left side and a single-light stone transomed window with the bottom light blocked. A 15th-century paired lancet window is located on the right side of the chancel, along with a single lancet window at the east end.

At the rear, there is a blocked round-arched doorway on the left side of the nave that features moulded imposts. The nave also has 19th-century two-light Reticulated tracery windows on the left and right of center, as well as a cusped lancet on the right. A vestry, which is a cat-slide addition to the left of the chancel, has a plank door and a lancet window on its left return.

The west tower is three stages high with a spire and angle buttresses. It has cusped lancets on each side of the first and second stages, and the third stage features two-light louvred Geometrical tracery openings. The square spire is topped with half-hipped lucarnes that also have Geometrical tracery openings. The interior has not been inspected but is reputed to contain an early 18th-century altar rail.
