Description
The remains of the former Church of St Peter, located on Peter's Street in Frocester, include a tower and porch. This medieval parish church features a 15th-century porch, while the tower was rebuilt in 1849 by Francis Niblett. The base walls are constructed of random rubble limestone, and the porch is made of ashlar with a plain tile roof. The coursed rubble limestone tower has an ashlar spire. The outline of the church is marked by low walls, with the south porch and north tower still standing.
The tower is two stages high, featuring narrow trefoil side windows and a moulded pointed doorway on the north side. There is a projecting stair turret on the west side with a blocked doorway. The belfry has two-light lancet openings with stone louvres, and the broach spire is adorned with lucarnes on the cardinal faces, topped with a bold stone finial and weathercock. The south porch has a gabled parapet and four-light side windows with a central king mullion, along with diagonal buttresses on the front wall and a plain pointed archway. Inside, there is a wagon roof. The church was demolished in 1952, with the stone repurposed for the construction of Wycliffe College chapel in Stonehouse.
