Description
The Church of St Peter the Poor Fisherman is a redundant church dating from the 13th century, with elements from the early 14th and 15th centuries. It is constructed of slate rubble with granite dressings and features slate roofs. The church includes a nave, chancel, south aisle, north transept, south porch, and a northwest tower.
The nave is roofless and has a Perpendicular three-light north window and a round-arched north doorway. The west gable end of the nave features a blocked triangular-headed two-light window and a small round-headed window below, flanked by buttresses with set-offs. The chancel has a three-light east window with rectilinear tracery. The north transept contains a two-light window with crude 14th-century granite tracery.
The long south aisle showcases 15th-century moulded four-centred arch three-light windows, a Perpendicular three-light east window, and a two-light west window. It also has a moulded two-centred arch south doorway. The gabled south porch features a round arch with impost mouldings and a carved unceiled wagon roof. The gabled tower at the west end of the north side of the nave has round-headed bell-openings with slate louvres, and the lower east window has a carved jamb that may be part of a Saxon cross shaft.
Inside, there is a four-bay south arcade with wide double hollow-chamfered four-centred arches supported by monolithic granite piers with alternating shafts and hollows, along with moulded bases and similar capitals. The south aisle has an unceiled carved wagon roof, and there is an octagonal font.
