Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a church built in 1841, designed based on rough sketches by J P Fearon, the curate. It features dressed stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, showcasing a Gothic Revival style. The structure comprises a nave, chancel, west tower, and south porch. Notable architectural elements include a moulded plinth and a chamfered arch corbel table. The west tower has a tall lancet window on its west face, with a single lancet bell opening on each side, topped with four corner pinnacles and a pierced parapet. The nave is supported by a single buttress at each corner and has four lancets on the north side and three on the south, all with moulded cill bands.

On the south side, there is a projecting gabled porch to the west, featuring a moulded double chamfered arched outer opening and a similar inner doorway with the original wooden door. This door has four pointed arch panels and ornate iron hinges and door furniture, above which is a wooden overdoor with a trefoil panel. The chancel has a triple lancet window to the east, with the central light being taller.

Inside, the church retains chamfered arches for the tower and chancel, a wooden nave roof, and a plaster vaulted chancel. The fittings include original doors, pews, a stone font, a pulpit, a reading desk, and an altar rail. There is also an inserted pipe organ dated 1894, built by Harrisons of Durham. The stained glass windows include an east chancel window donated by Rev Henry Bailey. Additionally, there is a brass plate memorial for World War I. The church was constructed on land donated by Rev Henry Bailey.
