Description
The Church of St. Peter is a 17th-century building characterized by its squat proportions. It consists of a nave, a chancel with a lean-to northern vestry and an angled doorway, and a southern organ chamber linked to the southern aisle, which features a porch tower topped with a broach spire. The church has coped gables with stone finials, stepped buttresses at the corners, and a polygonal stair turret at the southwest corner of the tower.
The east window is a three-light traceried design with a geometric head, while the west end and north side of the nave have similar two-light windows. The southern aisle features paired cusped lights and traceried lancets with impaled trefoils. There are paired early 13th-century style bell openings with foliage capitals and oculi set under superarches. The outer and inner southern doorways have nook shafts, hoodmoulds, and double boarded inner doors with strapwork hinges.
Inside, the church has a straightforward colourwashed interior with Bath stone dressings. The chancel features a boarded tunnel roof with a single pointed opening to the southern organ chamber, matched by a recess on the northern wall. The east window has glass designed by Clayton and Bell from 1896. The chancel arch is moulded and supported by dwarf granite surfaces on tripartite corbels. There is a fine wrought-iron chancel screen with a crucifix over a central gable and foliage crestings. The nave has an open roof with scissor-arched braces, while the southern aisle has a two-bay design with dying-back corbels and a round pier. A circular stone font with a spire cover completes the interior features.
