Description

The Church of St Peter is a 15th-century church that was renewed in 1818 and further restored in 1870 and 1895. It is constructed of flint with stone dressings and has a plain tile roof. The building features a three-stage buttressed west tower, a nave with aisles, a north aisle that serves as a lady chapel, and a chancel. There is a polygonal turret at the northeast angle of the tower that rises through two and a half stages from a circular base. The moulding of the west door and window tracery was renewed in the 19th century, except for the early 20th-century lancet windows in the south aisle wall. The nave includes dormers and battlements added to the tower in 1895.

Inside, the church has tower and chancel arches with attached demi shafts. The nave is three bays wide with a cusped arch brace and wind brace roof. There is a late 14th-century triple sedilia in the south wall of the chancel, featuring an ogee-arched piscina. A rare lead font from the mid-12th century, which is an early example of its type, displays virtues and vices in arcades.
