Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter is an inter-war church designed in a simple late medieval style. It is constructed from coursed yellow stone with grey tooled ashlar dressings, and features a roof made of small slates with sprocketed and slightly swept eaves. The main windows at the east and west ends have Perpendicular-style tracery, while the side windows are square-headed with cusped lights divided by mullions and have close narrow hoodmoulds, along with slit openings in their apexes. The layout includes a nave, a wide but shallow south porch, a south aisle, a chancel, and a north vestry.

The porch is tall and two-storeyed, with a steeply gabled roof and a three-light window with a hoodmould above a wide, two-ordered pointed-arched chamfered doorway, complemented by iron outer gates and a battered plinth. Inside, there is a flat beamed timber ceiling, slit side windows, and the main pointed arched chamfered and stopped south doorway, with a west doorway likely intended for a planned tower. The three aisle windows consist of four lights, each pair separated by a mullion, and there is a long single cusped southeast light. The chancel is only slightly shorter than the nave, featuring three south windows with triple lights and an arched basement doorway at the southeast. The east windows are three-light Perpendicular style under a Tudor-arched hood. To the north, there is a second entrance flanked by a tall stack in the double cross-gabled vestry wing, and the west window is similar in Perpendicular style with a pointed-arched chamfered and stopped doorway.

The interior is made of unrendered dressed stone blocks. The four-bay south aisle has plain wide pointed arches with square piers and simple chamfered caps, while the chancel arch is also wide and pointed without caps. The open timber roof is made of Columbian pine, featuring four trusses of tie-beam, collar, and queen posts in the nave, with two similar lower trusses in the chancel and a deep crenellated wallplate. The furnishings throughout are made of light oak. There is a screen to the side chapel at the southeast, and at the west, a baptistry arched recess contains a low font on a thick round stem and deep plinth, given by Sunday School scholars in 1936. The chancel is accessed by three steps, leading to a low chancel screen with returns that incorporate a clergy seat, three rows of choir stalls, and a further step up to the sanctuary and three to the altar. An organ is located in a recess to the north, adjacent to a grid door leading to the vestry.
