Description
The Church of St Peter is a Grade II* listed building featuring a low nave with a chancel that has a lower roof line. It includes a south porch and a west open bellcote housing two small bells. The structure is built from rubble stone and covered with slate roofs. A priest's door is located under an elliptical head, and the chancel has 3-light windows with Perpendicular tracery in the local style, which have been reset in the rebuilt west end. The south wall of the chancel and the east end of the nave feature two-light cusped windows, while the north wall of the nave has a wide, crude trefoil-headed light. An exceptional feature at the east end of the chancel is a small cusped light under a square head, positioned high in the apex, leaving a blank east wall that was presumably originally intended for a reredos inside. The porch includes a stoup and a chamfered south door.
The churchyard is sub-circular and contains some chest tombs. The nave roof dates from the 19th century, while the chancel boasts a 15th-century barrel roof with thin moulded ribs. Inside, there is a plain round-headed plastered chancel arch and a circular font on a cylindrical base. The floors are flagged with some memorial stones, and there are several 18th and 19th-century wall tablets in the chancel. The furnishings were designed by Evins.
