Description

The Church of St Peter is a church built between 1880 and 1882 by J B Cory. It is constructed from slate rubble with sandstone ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. The building consists of a nave and chancel with a south vestry. It has coped gables and lancet windows. The three-bay nave includes later deep weathered buttresses; the south side has paired lancets, while the eastern bay features a single lancet. The north side mirrors this layout and has a gabled porch to the west, which includes an entrance with one order and an inner chamfered arch. Above this entrance is a quatrefoil with the letters "AoX" and the date "1897". The west end has lancets flanking buttresses and a gabled bell cote with a louvred trefoil-headed opening. The chancel features a gabled vestry with a two-light window and a rounded under relieving arch, as well as a lean-to canopy over the west entrance. The east side has three stepped lancets and a basement entrance, with additional lancets on the south and triple lancets on the north.

Inside, the roofs have deep arch-braced collars, and the windows feature segmental-pointed relieving arches. The plain round font has dog-tooth moulding and three coronae. The double-chamfered chancel arch dies into the jambs. The interior includes a traceried pulpit, reading desk, stalls, altar rail, and east panelling with a reredos under a projecting cornice. A recess to the south contains a 17th-century style cupboard presented in 1954. The chancel's east window and the lancet to the north have late 19th-century decorative glass, while other windows showcase a notable collection of stained glass by Jane Gray from the 1970s.
