Description

The Church of St Peter is an Anglican parish church, likely dating from the 13th century, with alterations and extensions made in 1859 and restoration in 1907 by C.E. Ponting. It is constructed of rubble stone and features stone slate roofs, including a coped chancel gable and a gabled stone slate hung bellcote at the west end. The church has a 13th-century nave and chancel, with a gabled addition to the north of the nave that includes a north porch, and a north vestry added in 1842.

The nave has plain pointed windows on the west and south sides, dating from 1859, while the chancel contains small 13th-century pointed windows on the north and south, as well as a small 13th-century lancet on the south wall to the right, all featuring crude hoodmoulds. The east window is in the 14th-century Decorated style and consists of two lights. The church also has 19th-century buttresses. The north addition to the nave includes windows similar to those of the nave, with one at each end and one in the north porch.

Inside, the original roofs of the nave and chancel are visible, featuring arched braced collar rafters, which are much heavier in the nave. A heavy cross beam with curved uprights supports the bellcote above the west end of the nave. There is a west gallery with a Gothic panelled front from 1859. In the north addition, there is a 13th-century bowl font set on a 19th-century base. The chancel has deep splayed window reveals, and there is armorial glass from around 1859 in the nave and north addition, with additional glass from around 1884 in the chancel's north and south windows, and an east window created in 1907 by Kempe & Tower. The screen, stalls, pulpit, and organ were all installed in 1907. A hatchment commemorating R. Smith of Blackland, who died in 1691, is displayed on the gallery front.
