Church Of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is an Anglican parish church built in 1846 by B. Ferrey on an earlier site. It features coursed and squared lias rubble with Doulting stone dressings, stone tile roofs, and coped verges topped with cruciform finials. The church includes a nave with a south porch, a north aisle, a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower, all designed in an archaeologically correct Perpendicular style.

The tower has set-back buttresses, an embattled parapet with pinnacles, prominent gargoyles, a small south stair turret, and features 2-light bell-chamber windows along with a 3-light west window. The nave is buttressed and has an embattled parapet with 3-light windows, while the north aisle is also buttressed, with an embattled parapet and 3-light windows. The chancel has two bays, a pierced parapet with pinnacles, and a 4-light east window. The porch is buttressed and has paired wrought-iron dog gates.

Inside, the church has a lofty plastered interior with elaborate hammer-beam roofs. There is a 4-bay arcade leading to the north aisle, with piers that feature 4-hollows mouldings, possibly reused from a 15th-century structure, although much restored. The church contains a plain 15th-century octagonal font with a niche on each face of its base, 19th-century pews, a 19th-century lectern shaped like a carved eagle, and a 19th-century pulpit. There are also some 19th-century metal plaques on the walls with pious texts, a 17th-century chest, and a small 17th-century communion table. Additionally, there are five 19th-century tables made by Reeves of Bath, Wood of Bristol, and Tyley of Bristol, along with 19th-century stained glass, particularly the east window designed by Wailes in 1852.
