Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is a Perpendicular style building, dating from the 15th century. It consists of a nave, a chancel, a west tower, a south aisle incorporating a chapel, and a south porch. The building is constructed of random rubble stone with dressed quoins, featuring battered walls and stone tile roofs.

The south aisle has a porch at its left end, featuring a wide Tudor-headed doorway with continuous moulding. To the right of the porch is a restored four-light window, followed by a three-light restored window. A smaller, high two-light window, originally illuminating the former rood, is positioned to the right of the porch, with a small priest's door leading to the aisle chapel, boasting a Tudor head and a ribbed and boarded door. Late 18th and early 19th century memorial tablets are affixed to the south wall. The east ends of the aisle and chancel create a continuous facade, each featuring a three-light window. The chancel is noticeably lower and narrower than the nave. The north wall is roughcast, with a one-light and a two-light window dating from the late 19th century. The north wall of the nave is also roughcast and incorporates two three-light windows, also by Pearson, with hood moulds.

The three-stage west tower has a plinth band and putlog holes in the lower stage. A small window is set within a dressed surround on the west face, while similar, but narrower, windows are present on the north and south faces. A string course runs above the lower stage, and the middle stage has narrow windows; the bell stage has two-light Perpendicular openings with louvres. An embattled parapet was added around 1500.

The south porch has a two-bay roof with a central arched-brace truss. The south doorway features a Tudor head, and the ribbed door has strap hinges and a lock dated 1716. A small stoup with a triangular head is situated beside the door. The nave and chancel have tie-beam roofs installed in 1897, while the aisle and chapel boast a ceiled wagon roof dating back to around 1500, set on a moulded cornice. The nave has a four-bay arcade with octagonal piers on square bases and two orders of chamfers to the two-centred arches. A similar two-bay arcade defines the chancel. The chancel arch, rebuilt in 1897, is two-centred with two orders of chamfers and polygonal responds with moulded capitals and bases. The tower arch is segmental-pointed and lacks capitals.

Above the chancel arch, foliage is painted in red ochre in a diaper fashion, serving as a background to a large cross. The 15th-century font has a plain octagonal bowl and pedestal on a square base. Numerous wall monuments are present, including a tablet in the south wall dedicated to Thomas Brute (died 1724), son of a local mason. Two further monuments by J Brute commemorate Elizabeth Price (died 1804) and John Powell (died 1808). Other fixtures largely date to the late 19th century. A screen separating the aisle and chapel has a plain dado below four blind traceried lights flanking a door with two blind traceried panels, topped by a cornice. A similar, but lower, screen spans the chancel arcade. Late 19th-century commemorative glass includes depictions of Christ with Saints Peter and Thomas in the chancel east window, the Nativity, Crucifixion, and Ascension in the chapel east window, and the Good Samaritan in the nave south window. Fragments of medieval glass are incorporated into the chancel north windows.
