Description
The Church of St Peter, built in 1860, is a Grade II listed church located in Stawley. It is constructed from red sandstone squared random rubble with limestone dressings and features a tiled roof in the Early English style. The church has a nave with a hexagonal apse and a north tower. The two-stage tower includes a hexagonal piered bell-cote and an octagonal second stage that fits into a square first stage, with a stair turret located in the northeast corner. There are three-light windows on the east and west sides, along with other lancet windows.
Inside, the church has a rendered interior. The chancel arch is adorned with foliated capitals, and the roof features scissor trusses with a quatrefoil-decorated wall-plate in the chancel and a trefoil in the nave. The church contains 19th-century pews and an imported strip of 17th-century carving that forms the top of the altar rails.
