Description

The Church of St Peter is a church located on a medieval site, rebuilt in 1828 and restored in 1888, with both dates noted on the weather vane atop the tower. It features cement rendered walls resting on a chamfered plinth, with red sandstone raised quoins that have V-joints. The structure includes a small square three-storey west tower and porch, along with a four-bay nave and chancel, which has a north vestry added in 1888.

The tower has a studded plank door that is topped with a semicircular coloured glass fanlight and a keyed entablature. External steps on the left provide access to the belfry, which is equipped with louvred vents and a pyramidal roof. The nave and chancel are adorned with round-arched windows, including a three-light east window.

Inside, the church features a barrel vaulted plank ceiling and a wooden painted panel displaying the arms of Queen Anne. The pews and furnishings date from the late 19th century. The east window was created by E.R. Suffling & Co in 1888, and there is additional stained glass, with one piece signed by Swaine Bourne from 1883. An inscribed grave slab in the chancel commemorates John de Beghokirk, who was appointed Rector in 1346.
