Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a building with a long history, dating back to the 12th century, with significant additions and alterations in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. In 1892, the chancel, south chapel, south aisle, and nave were almost entirely rebuilt by C Hodgson Fowler. The church is constructed of ashlar, with graduated stone slate and lead roofs.

The plan includes a west tower, a three-bay nave with a rebuilt south aisle and porch, and a chancel with a south chapel. The west tower has three stages, with a small, ogee-arched, one-light window on the south side of the second stage. The belfry features two-light, flat-headed mullion and transom openings with arched, cusped lights, an eaves band, embattled parapet, and pinnacles at each corner. A large, 16th-century, three-light mullion and transom window is on the west side, below a clock face. The nave has buttresses between the bays, and north windows are Perpendicular in style with pointed arches. The south aisle features three-light, Perpendicular style windows with flat heads and hoodmoulds. The south porch has pinnacles and a pointed arch doorway, topped with a gable and cross. The re-sited 19th-century south doorway contains a 12th-century doorway with two orders of columns with scalloped capitals, adorned with zigzag and beakhead motifs. The chancel has Perpendicular style windows and a gabled south chapel with a two-light, four-centred arched window, cusping, and hoodmould. The east window is a three-light, Perpendicular style window with a pointed arch and hoodmould.

Inside, the four-bay south arcade features octagonal shafts and moulded pointed arches. The chancel arch is similarly styled. The two-bay chancel arcade has plain, moulded, pointed arches. A font from the early 12th century is cylindrical, with a rope motif near the top. The east window is by Kempe and dates to around 1893. Remains of an Anglo-Danish cross-shaft with interlace carvings and part of a hogback tombstone are also present.
