Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a church that dates back to the 12th and 13th centuries, with a belfry from the 15th century and a north aisle added in 1877. It underwent restoration in the 19th century. The church features sandstone rubble walls with ashlar dressings, and the vestry is made of snecked sandstone. The tower is weatherboarded, and the roofs are covered with Horsham slabs, topped by a wood-shingled broach spire.

The layout includes a nave with a pentice aisle to the south and a flat-roofed aisle to the north. The chancel is located to the east, with a vestry to the north, a square tower to the west, and a porch to the south. The 19th-century windows on the nave and aisles have two and three foiled-head lights. The east end of the north aisle features a Perpendicular style tracery window with three-light trefoil-head and ogee hood mould tracery on the west window. The chancel has 13th-century lancet windows on the north and south sides, and a two-light 13th-century window on the south. The east window, designed in 1876-7, follows an earlier style with three stepped lancets under a common relieving arch.

The tower is offset to the west and has hipped offsets. It includes one three-light square-paned window on both the north and south sides at the base, and double doors to the west beneath a 16th-century arched head, which is topped by a five-light fixed diamond-mullioned window. The gabled south porch has double doors, and there is a priest door on the south side of the chancel.

Inside, there is a 15th-century bellcage to the west with double scissor-type bracing on chamfered main posts. The church features two-bay round pier arcades with ten-sided caps and half-round pier responds to the south. The north aisle roof has corbelled eaves, while the chancel roof is panelled with a dog-tooth cornice band. Notable fittings include a 14th-century round-head piscina in the south wall of the chancel, a 15th-century ogee-head piscina in the south aisle, and an old west gallery front from 1627 now positioned under the tower. There is also a five-bay screen with quatrefoil and foliage tracery, and a late 19th-century stone font on an octagonal stem with an octagonal bowl.
