Description
The Parish Church of St Peter is a church that has some remains from the 13th century but was largely rebuilt in the early 19th century, with the date 1804 marked on the west gable. The chancel was restored in 1873, and the nave was re-roofed in 1878. The church features rubble-stone walls and diagonal buttresses on the chancel. The nave has a clay tile roof, while the chancel has a stone slate roof, both with stone gable copings. There is a gabled bell-cote on the west gable, and crosses adorn the other gables.
The nave and chancel include two single lancets on the south wall of the nave and a late 13th-century lancet on the north wall, which has one trefoiled light with a label. The chancel features two lancets on the south wall and three stepped lancets for each window. A south porch, with rubble-stone walls and a clay-tile roof, has an entrance with a four-centred head and a plank-and-muntin door, also with a four-centred head, dating from the 19th century.
Inside, there is a small pointed chancel arch from the 19th century and a semi-circular barrel roof in the nave, also from the 19th century. Notable fittings include a font with a tapering cylindrical bowl and central roll-moulding on a chamfered stone plinth from the 12th century, and a stone pulpit with panelled and traceried sides from the 19th century. The east window features four roundels: a triple crown, a lily-pot with the initials W.I. and S.I. from the 16th century, and two fragments made into shields from the 17th century.
