Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church located in Bramshaw, with its origins dating back to the mid-13th century. The only surviving part from this period is the west nave, while the transepts and the south transept tower were added in 1828 by J Peniston. The chancel was rebuilt and a vestry was added in the late 19th century. The church is constructed from rubble ironstone and flint, with stone dressings and some brick additions. It features flint bands and an old plain tile roof, with the top stage of the tower being weatherboarded.

The church's layout includes a 13th-century chancel and nave, with the chancel rebuilt and a north vestry added in the 19th century. The north transept is small, while the large south transept includes a tower at its southern end. The east window of the chancel is a triple lancet, with single lancets on the sides. The north transept has a late 19th-century three-lancet window, and the large south transept features pointed timber windows. The south tower has a pointed east door, which now serves as the entrance, and a square weatherboarded belfry with louvred openings on each face and a hipped roof.

Inside, the nave has a 19th-century light to the east of the north transept, and there is an external timber staircase leading to a 19th-century gallery door. A blocked 13th-century door with heavy roll-mouldings is located on the south side, along with a 16th-century two-light window to the west. The west wall, which has been much repaired, features a 13th-century stepped triple lancet window with a 19th-century trefoil above it. The interior of the chancel is entirely from the 19th century, except for the north-west door, which dates to the late 13th century. The chancel arch is in the Decorated style, while a plain chamfered arch leads to the north transept.

The nave opens into the south transept, which has a bow-fronted gallery accessed via a staircase in the tower. The nave also features a bow-fronted west gallery dated 1828. Behind the west window is a moulded rere-arch under a label with heads at the springing. The church has a 15th-century roof with a moulded wallplate and cambered tiebeams. The font is old but has been recut, and the tower houses a 13th-century treble bell, which is long and tapered with a square lip.
