Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is an Anglican parish church that dates from the 13th to the 15th century, with a west tower added in 1853. It is constructed of rubble stone and ashlar, featuring stone slate roofs and a coped east gable. The church includes a nave with continuously roofed aisles, a south porch, and a 19th-century north vestry, as well as a chancel and the west tower. The tower is two stages high, with two-light bell-openings, a moulded cornice, and a pyramid roof.

The nave has three windows, with the south side featuring a two-light leaded window with arched lights from the 16th or 17th century. The large projecting gabled south porch has a moulded plinth and a moulded round-arched doorway, possibly from the 16th century, along with a three-light flat-headed window from the 15th or 16th century that has cusped lights. There are angle buttresses supporting the structure. The north side includes a similar two-light gabled vestry from the 19th century and a three-light window with a stone coped gable above. Heavy buttresses are located at the north-west and two at the north-east corners.

The chancel features pointed cusped single lights on each side, with a large two-light window to the north that has a hood and Y-tracery, while the south window has been replaced by a plain 17th-century chamfered mullion window with a hoodmould. There is also a flat-headed two-light window from the 15th or 16th century on the south side, and a similar flat-headed three-light window at the east end. The south side has a low pointed doorway.

Inside, the church has two-bay arcades with octagonal piers and two-chamfered arches. The narrow aisles contain various 12th-century capitals. The nave roof was replaced in the 20th century. The west end wall features two cusped lancets set in deep reveals and a narrow central door, with a depressed-arch recess or blocked door to the left. There is a pointed arched north door that now leads to the vestry, and pointed arches at the east end of each aisle, with the north aisle containing a rood stair. The chancel arch is two-chamfered, with the inner order stopped on short wall shafts on head-corbels. The chancel has a trussed rafter roof, along with a piscina and recess in the south wall.
