Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church built in 1855 by H. Crisp, with a late 20th-century south extension designed in the same style. It is constructed from snecked rubble with stone dressings and has a plain tiled roof featuring raised coped verges. The church is designed in the Early English style and consists of a nave, chancel, west porch, and north vestry.

The west front features a large three-light window with a continuous hood mould over each light, a gabled porch with a pointed arched opening and mask stops to the hood mould, and an inner door set in a chamfered surround. There is an open bellcote housing two bells, topped with a cross finial. The nave has a five-bay layout with a southwest door leading to a smaller gabled porch. All windows are lancets with a continuous hood mould interrupted by buttresses, and there is a plinth at the base. The north vestry, accessed from the chancel, includes a two-light window with a trefoil head, a hood mould, lion and mask gargoyles, and an east door with a shaped head. The chancel has a three-light east window, each light featuring a trefoil head, a continuous hood mould, and stops, along with a cross finial.

Inside, the five-bay nave has an arched-brace and collar roof supported by corbels, a moulded wall-plate, and two rows of purlins. There is a pointed segmental arched opening to the pulpit with three chamfered orders, and a high pointed arch leading to the chancel, which has triple jamb-shafts with moulded bases and ball capitals. The chancel features a common rafter roof, a door to the vestry with a shaped head, a piscina in the north wall, and two openings leading to the 20th-century extension. The church contains contemporary fittings, including a pulpit, pews, and a Norman font in the nave with a square bowl and lead lining, which was likely removed from the Church of St Thomas in Northwick during its demolition.
