Church Of Saint Peter

The Church of Saint Peter is a church with origins dating back to the 13th century, although most of the existing structure is from the 15th century following a serious fire in 1964. It is built from Cary stone that has been cut and squared, with Doulting stone dressings, and features a copper sheet roof between coped gables topped with finials. The church retains a 3-bay nave, with a tower that also serves as a porch on the center of the south side. The extent of the original 13th-century chancel is indicated by low stone walls.

Inside, the chancel arch, which has tapered jambs from the 13th century, is now blocked in the east wall and includes four stone fragments from a former chancel, possibly from the 12th century. The nave is plinthed and lacks buttresses, while the windows are pointed arch, 3-light designs from the 15th century, most of which were restored in 1855 and 1966, all under labels. There is a matching 2-light window in a shallow recess in the west wall, featuring carved head stops above a blocked 15th-century 4-centre arched doorway, which has a square label and foliage in the carved spandrils.

The tower consists of two stages and has angled offset buttresses at the southeast and southwest corners. It features a plinth, string courses, and a crenellated parapet with corner pinnacles. The porch has a 4-centre arch with an arched label leading into it, along with a recessed 2-light window with restored 15th-century style tracery above. The tower's top has simple windows on all faces with pairs of segmental arched lights filled with pierced stonework baffles, and there is a small block sundial at the base of the second stage on the south side.

Inside, the church was completely renovated after the fire in 1966. A stained glass window, dated 1926, from the former east window has been incorporated into the center window on the north wall. Above the south doorway, there is a fine hatchment of Queen Elizabeth II created by the Somerset Guild of Craftsmen.
