Description

The Church of St Peter is an Anglican parish church located in Buckland-Tout-Saints, built in 1778 for John Henry Southcote of Buckland-Tout-Saints House. The church is constructed of rubble with slate roofs and features a west tower, a nave that is continuous with the chancel, north and south transepts, and a north porch. There is also a lean-to vestry on the south side of the tower. The windows are designed in a 15th-century style.

The west tower is divided into two stages and has diagonal buttresses that rise to half-height. It is accented with a string course leading to the bell stage, which has large louvred pointed openings on each face. The tower is topped with battlements that are set forward on a continuous corbel. A square stack is attached to the south-west corner of the nave.

The church features two-light Perpendicular style windows with drip stones, located on the north and south sides of the nave, as well as on the north and south transept walls and the chancel. The chancel's east end has a three-light window. Diagonal buttresses support the transepts and the east end of the church. The porch has a pointed arch altar and inner doors.

Inside, the church has a tiled floor, a simple coved plaster ceiling, and plastered walls. The sanctuary is raised by one step and features a black and white floor. The seating consists of good simple pews.
