Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church with origins primarily in the 12th century and early 14th century, featuring a 15th-century west tower. The building is constructed from flint with limestone dressings, and includes blocks of iron-bound conglomerate in its earlier work. It comprises a nave and chancel under a continuous plain-tiled roof, with a lead roof over the north aisle.

The west tower has angle buttresses adorned with flushwork panels that end in pinnacles, and a canted stair turret on the south side. It features square traceried sound holes and two-light Perpendicular bell openings, along with flushwork panels in the tower parapets. The south wall of the nave includes a 3-light transitional Perpendicular/Decorated window and a 2-light window from around 1300, which has 'Y'-tracery. There are remains of two bays of blank arcading with flint quoins. The northeast corner of the chancel displays quoins made of conglomerate stone, and the north wall has a blocked lancet with a heavy conglomerate surround. The north aisle contains three windows in the transitional Perpendicular/Decorated style.

The south porch is rendered over and features a traceried niche above the door in the gable, with a parapeted gable and flanking buttresses. There is a small single light window in the east wall, and the south doorway dates to around 1300.

Inside, the north arcade consists of four bays from the early 14th century, supported by octagonal piers and double hollow-chamfered arches. There are remains of a fine 15th-century screen with twelve painted panels. The nave and chancel roofs, designed by R. M. Phipson in 1861, feature arch-braced principals on corbels. Remnants of the rood stairs can be found at the northeast corner of the nave. The north aisle roof, dating from the 15th century, has roll-moulded principal rafters and purlins with arch-braces on wall posts. A notable feature is the C12 tub-font made of blue-stone, which has shallow blank arcading around the bowl, supported by a large central stem and four columns. The pews, pulpit, and lectern were created around 1875 by William Butterfield.
