Description
St Peter's church was erected as a chapel of ease to St Paul's Church (NPRN 107201).

The church was constructed in 1867, to the designs of R.K. Penson. The original church has a canted apse and thin square south-east tower with broached spire. The church was enlarged in 1892, when cross-gabled aisles were added. The gables are similar to those at Christ Church (NPRN 12088), and are thought to have been designed by the same architect, E.M. Bruce Vaughan. The arcades have round piers. The roof is open and there is no division before the raftered apse.
