Church Of St Peter Including Wall And Railings To South

The Church of St Peter, built in 1839, serves as a Chapel of Ease. It features a rendered rubblestone exterior with slate hung on the north side and granite dressings. The church has a slate roof with gable ends and a rectangular plan, combining the nave and chancel without aisles. A porch was added to the west end, and the building is designed in a Gothic style, with its south side facing the road.

The south façade includes three 3-light windows with trefoil heads and moulded timber mullions, topped with granite hoods and labels. Stepped buttresses are positioned between the windows and at the corners. The gable ends have parapet coping, with a small granite bell turret on the west end featuring a pyramid cap and weather vane, and a simple octagonal pinnacle on the east end. The porch on the west side has an asymmetrical entrance in the gable end, marked by a large granite 2-centred arch with hollow chamfers, a rectangular hood with labels, and incised triangles in the spandrels. It has double plank doors and a 2-light window with cusped heads and a granite lintel above the arch, also asymmetrical.

On the north side, there are three 3-light trefoil-headed windows with unmoulded mullions and granite lintels. The porch has a 20th-century 3-light window without glazing bars beneath a granite lintel, and there is a small west window with three lights and cusped heads. The east window also has three lights with a cusped head.

Inside, the vestry at the rear of the porch is divided by timber 19th-century Gothic panelling, and there is a simple pitch pine bench arrangement. The altar table and reredos feature Gothic panelling, and the church retains original glass and tiles from Messrs Maw and Co.

To the south of the church, there is a rubblestone retaining wall topped with mid-19th century wrought iron railings. The railings are adorned with lanterns and spearheads above the top rail.
