Church of St Peter

This is a large medieval parish church. The building dates from the medieval period and consists of a west tower, a long nave, a short south porch, a chancel, and a north vestry. The majority of the external stonework is random rubble, with ashlar dressings. The west wall of the tower is constructed of finely jointed snecked dressed stone. The roof is slate, featuring cruciform finials.

The west tower is substantial, with stepped corner buttresses rising to just below the embattled parapet, which is finished with corner gargoyles. It has paired, louvred, trefoil-headed belfry lights set within a hoodmould. Smaller rectangular windows illuminate the tower chambers below, and paired lancets with a hoodmould are set above a pointed moulded arched west doorway. A string course runs below the belfry, and a moulded plinth course sits at the base. The gabled south porch incorporates kneelers and a slightly battered form. It has a plain, chamfered, pointed arched south doorway, and inside are stone seats and a surviving medieval roof featuring one arch-braced truss with a moulded low ridge piece displaying a heraldic boss, and chamfered and stopped purlins. A battened door is fitted with full-width hinges. The south nave and chancel windows are Perpendicular in style, consisting of double or triple cinquefoil-headed lancets within a square frame, with a hood; there are three lights either side of the porch, a double light to illuminate the former rood screen, and two double lights to the south chancel, either side of a pointed arched priests' door. A three-light east window features Geometric tracery. A lean-to northeast vestry has pointed-arched openings. The north nave has matching windows to the south.

The interior is rendered. The nave is narrow and features a roof composed of six bays of arch-braced trusses, with two rows of purlins rising from spur corbels below the wallplate. A low ridge piece incorporates bosses at the intersections with the trusses. A wide, moulded west interior arch, lacking capitals, is fitted with a carved oak screen in memory of the Vaughan family, dated 1947. A small, chamfered, pointed staircase tower arch is adjacent to the south. A small, octagonal, later medieval font stands in the southeast corner, with a weathered base and a tall, 19th-century wood cover with tabernacle work. A pulpit dates from around 1873. A brass lectern, shaped like an angel figure, is also present. The chancel arch is tall and pointed, with the inner chamfered order unusually disappearing into the jambs; pointed arched doorways at two levels formerly provided access via stone steps to the rood screen, on the south side. A wooden chancel screen is also present. The sanctuary has a terrazzo floor, reached by three steps, and to the left (north) of the altar is a tall, moulded recess now filled by an aumbry. A polychrome wooden reredos decorates the space. The organ dates from 1892. The east window has stained glass from 1891 by A Savell, and further stained glass is within the nave, likely crafted by Joseph Bell of Bristol and others. A number of 18th-century stone wall monuments are dedicated to local families.
