Church Of Saint Peter

The Church of Saint Peter is an Anglican parish church built between 1855 and 1857 by Charles H. Gabriel. It is constructed from squared rubble stone with ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof, coped gables, and an ashlar gabled bellcote at the west end. The church comprises a nave with a south porch, a chancel, and a north vestry or organ chamber. It has lancet windows and shallow buttresses. The nave has four windows with paired lancets, and the south side includes a large timber porch with stone slating. The pointed doorway is moulded and shafted. The west end features a stepped mid-buttress with a lancet on each side and a quatrefoil roundel above. The chancel has two windows with a sill course and smaller single lancet lights—two on the south side, one on the north, and a three-light stepped-lancet window on the east end. The projecting vestry on the north side has a hipped roof that slopes down low at the north end, a shouldered-head doorway on the west side, and two small lights on the east side.

Inside, the nave has a four-bay roof from 1906 with deep arch-braced collar trusses supported by corbels. The chancel arch is two-chamfered, with the inner arch resting on foliate-carved capitals, and the chancel roof features a two-bay scissor truss design. Notable interior elements include a brightly coloured east window from 1861 and a nave south window from 1906, along with a stone pulpit and font.
