Description

The Church of St Peter and St Paul is a parish church dating to the 14th and 15th centuries, and restored in 1867. It is constructed of stone rubble with freestone dressings and a slate roof. A prominent feature is the ashlar embattled parapet on the south side of the nave and chancel, and on the north aisle. The 14th-century nave and chancel are combined, featuring restored two-light windows with reticulated tracery, and south and east windows with intersecting tracery. A single chamfered south doorway provides access, with a 18th-century panelled door within a 19th-century gabled porch. The north aisle has two tiers of four-centred and two-centred arch windows. A north vestry is also present. The west tower, dating to the 15th century, has diagonal buttresses, a square stair turret on the northeast corner, an embattled parapet decorated with grotesques, two-light bell openings, a three-light perpendicular window on the west, and a hollow-chamfered west doorway with a hood mould.

Inside, a three-bay north arcade features octagonal piers and double-chamfered arches, supporting a suspended balcony. The nave, chancel, and north aisle have 19th-century waggon roofs. The interior also contains 19th-century furnishings, which include a stone traceried screen. A carved Jacobean pulpit and a tomb chest, located immediately south of the church and dedicated to Thomas Scott (died 1795), are also notable.
