Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter was built in 1854 and moved to its current location in 1866. It features a timber frame with weather-boarded coverings and a gabled roof made of double Roman tiles.

The church has a rectangular layout, consisting of a nave, chancel, a south-west bell tower, and a late 20th-century west porch. It is oriented approximately west-east and has four bays, standing on later brick pads. Much of the timber cladding appears to have been renewed. The slender wooden tower at the south-west corner has an open-sided belfry topped with a pyramidal roof covered in felt sheeting and a cross finial. Both the north and south elevations have two three-light windows, which are early 20th-century metal-framed casements with leaded panes set in wooden frames. The late 20th-century porch at the west end features half-glazed double doors with coloured leaded glass on its south side. The west gable end has a timber window with leaded panes on either side of the porch, along with blocked openings above. The east end windows have been covered, but the cast-iron stay for the main central window remains.

Inside, there is a plank entrance door with a wrought-iron handle, flanked by narrow built-in cupboards with plank doors and strap hinges. The lower parts of the walls are lined with timber panelling, while the upper sections are boarded with the timber frame exposed. The interior windows have chamfered timber mullions. A single step distinguishes the chancel from the nave. The oak altar rail, featuring carved trefoil heads, is believed to have been made from timbers of the medieval church in West Quantoxhead, and the altar is made from an oak pulpit. The stone font, which is in the Perpendicular style and has a carved wooden cover, was previously located in St Andrew’s Church in Stogursey and likely dates to the mid-19th century. The roof is supported by king post principals with angled struts.
