Description
The Church of Saint Peter is a former church featuring a nave constructed from red sandstone rubble and a chancel made of grey limestone. The west end has a broad central projection that supports a bellcote, which is flat-topped and resembles the one at Talbenny. It includes a 19th-century pointed window, a small eroded short pointed light above it, and two pointed bell openings.
On the north side of the nave, there are sloping buttresses at each end, a central pointed door with stone voussoirs, and a pointed window with stone voussoirs to the left. The south side of the nave has a similar buttress on the left, a central porch with a pointed opening featuring yellow sandstone voussoirs. Inside, there is a medieval plastered pointed vault and stone benches. To the right, there is a 19th-century ashlar single light window.
The chancel, which is an addition, is made of grey limestone and has yellow ashlar lancets, with two on each side and a buttress between them. The east end features three lancets with a segmental-pointed relieving arch above. The base of the chancel wall contains some old stones.
Inside, there is 19th-century plaster, a deeply recessed pointed west window, and four corbels on each side of the former roof. The chancel arch is low and round, supported by four corbels that once held a rood loft. There is a blocked small rood loft doorway with a cinquefoil-cusped head, surrounded by thirteen crude relief rosettes.
