Description
The Parish Church of St Peter in Oundle is a Grade I listed building with scant remains of a Norman church, while most of the structure dates from the 13th century, with additional work from the 15th century and later restorations. It features good windows from the earlier periods. The south porch is in the Perpendicular style and was built by Robert Wyatt and his wife, Joan, around 1485. The church has a decorated octagonal spire that was rebuilt in 1634, with the top section added in 1934. Inside, there is a 15th-century brass eagle lectern and an 18th-century font. The interior was restored in 1864 by Sir G. Gilbert Scott, R.A., and it includes stained glass by Clayton and Bell from 1864 and by Sir Ninian Comper from 1918. All the listed buildings on the west side of North Street form a group.
