The Church of St Peter is a parish church built between 1855 and 1857 by architect G.E. Street. It is constructed from squared and coursed limestone and features a 20th-century plain tile roof. The church has a nave with a north aisle and a south porch, along with an apsidal chancel that includes a north vestry. Designed in a tall French Gothic style, it showcases Decorated window tracery.

The nave is supported by offset buttresses and has a moulded sill string. At the west end, there is a gabled bellcote with a cusped arch and side gablets, and a three-light traceried window with a hood mould that has carved head stops. The south side features three bays of traceried windows, with the left window having two lights and the right windows having three lights. The south door is set in a moulded arch, and the steeply gabled south porch has a chamfered plinth and a cusped arch.

The north aisle includes end buttresses and four bays of two-light windows, all of which have carved foliage stops on their hood moulds. The gabled north vestry has a chamfered plinth, a buttress, an arched north door, and a pair of cusped lights on the east side. The chancel features a tall two-light south window and a polygonal east end with three two-light windows, each with various tracery designs.

Inside, the church has a four-bay north arcade supported by double chamfered pointed arches on cylindrical stone piers with moulded capitals. The chancel arch is also moulded and supported by moulded corbels. The roof is arch-braced with collar beams resting on carved stone foliage corbels. There is a piscina with a moulded trefoil head. Notable fittings include an octagonal stone font with traceried panels in the style of the 15th century, and stained glass by Clayton and Bell.
