Church of St Peter and Gate-Piers, Gates, Wall and Railing to South West

This is an Anglican church, built in 1841 and subsequently restored in 1871, 1893, and 1906. It was designed by George Wightwick of Plymouth. The church has stucco walls with freestone dressings around the window openings and a dry slate roof. A bellcote is positioned over the south west gable, and a semi-circular apse is at the north east gable end. The plan is rectangular, with an original porch at the south west end, a vestry added in 1871 to the left, and an original chancel apse at the north east end. The architectural style is Romanesque.

The south west front was originally symmetrical and includes a flat-roofed porch with a plinth and a parapet cornice. The central doorway has a hood and circa late 18th century ledged doors, with a carved figure of Saint Peter in the tympanum. A further doorway is located on the right-hand side wall of the porch, and a twin-gabled vestry adjoins to the left of the porch. Each gable of the vestry has a tall, narrow, round-headed window. The main south west gable end has a hoodmould over the central gable window, recessed panels on either side, and a narrower window within each, topped by a sloping machicolated cornice. The gable is surmounted by an eared gabled bellcote containing a single bell hanging within a round-headed opening.

Inside, there's an ordered freestone chancel arch, a braced tie beam roof structure with ceiling at collar level, a plaster blind reredos arcade with four-leaf enrichments to the cornice, and two coloured glass windows, dated 1882 and 1884.

The entrance gateway features square, pyramidal capped granite posts with a scrolled wrought iron overthrow above a central lamp, and a pair of finialled iron gates. The gates are flanked by low brick walls with granite coping, surmounted by wrought iron railings that match the gates. Despite later 19th-century alterations, the church retains much of Wightwick's original detail.
