Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a parish church built between 1839 and 1842, with alterations made in 1873. It is designed in the Perpendicular style and constructed from squared rubble with ashlar dressings, topped by a slate roof. The church features a west tower, a nave, a chancel, a southeast entrance porch, and a northeast vestry.

The three-stage tower is marked by string courses separating each stage. The west entrance has a two-centre head, a moulded architrave, a hoodmould, and plank doors. Above this entrance is a single light window with a cinquefoil head. Each face of the tower has a two-light belfry opening with slate louvres, cinquefoil heads, and hoodmoulds. The tower is supported by stepped clasping buttresses, each adorned with a gargoyle, and topped with an embattled parapet.

The nave consists of four bays, each separated by stepped buttresses. In each bay, there is a three-light window featuring rectilinear tracery, cinquefoil heads, and hoodmoulds. Below the embattled parapet, a string course is decorated with three carved heads. The chancel is lower and narrower than the nave and has a single bay. Its four-light east window also has rectilinear tracery, cinquefoil heads, and a hoodmould, along with diagonal buttresses and an embattled parapet.

To the north of the chancel is a single-storey vestry, which has an entrance with a two-centred head. The chimney of the vestry is cleverly disguised as a turret that rises above the chancel's buttress. A similar vestry and turret on the south side now serves as the entrance porch. Inside, the church features a false hammer beam roof supported by carved stone corbels, spanning three bays.
