Parish Church Of St Peter

The Parish Church of St Peter is a church located in Langton Herring, dating back to the 14th century, with a nave and chancel. An early 19th-century west tower was added, and the church underwent significant restoration in 1827 and 1858, during which a vestry and south aisle were also added. The church features rubble-stone walls with stone dressings and slate roofs.

The chancel includes a 20th-century east window, while the south wall has two windows; the eastern window is 20th-century except for its jambs and cill, and the western window is a single 14th-century lancet. The nave's north wall has three windows: a single 20th-century lancet and two 20th-century two-light windows with panel tracery. Below the middle window are the jambs of a destroyed north doorway. The west tower serves as the entrance to the church through the south wall and consists of three stages, with two strings and thin loop-lights, topped with a castellated parapet. There is an additional pointed-arch entrance on the north side.

Inside, the church features a south arcade with two bays and a large central column that has a square block capital with flat fascias, dating from the 19th century. The west doorway has a restored two-centred head, and the chancel arch has a single respond order with moulded jambs and a label with square stops. The chancel arch is a 20th-century addition with reused responds.

Notable fittings include a stone font with an octagonal bowl, each face adorned with a quatrefoiled panel, a moulded underside, and a stem featuring a trefoil-headed panel on each face, resting on a moulded and stepped square base from the 15th century. The communion rails are from the 17th century, featuring turned balusters and newels with turned tops, along with a moulded and enriched rail. There is also a white marble tablet monument on the north wall, commemorating William Sparks, who died on March 3, 1829, aged 70, and made by Chislett.
