St Peter

The earliest surviving fabric is probably the 11th century base of the tower. The western part of the chancel dates from the early 12th century, indicating that the nave had already reached its present length by that time. Fragments of round column shafts discovered during the construction of the north aisle in 1881 suggest that a medieval north aisle existed by the late 12th or early 13th century. The upper stage of the tower was also built in the 13th century, and the spire, which collapsed in the 18th century, was probably added in the 14th century.

Fragments of 15th century window tracery, also found in 1881, indicate that the church was remodelled during that period. Following the collapse of the spire in 1725, the north aisle was demolished and the north wall of the nave rebuilt. The south nave wall was also rebuilt in the post-medieval period, possibly in the 17th century, suggested by the date of the south door, or in the early 18th century. The pyramidal cap on the tower likewise dates from the early 18th century, as the spire was never reconstructed.

The church was refurnished in 1844, when the galleries were removed. The chancel was restored in 1851, and further works in 1869 included reroofing the nave, rebuilding the chancel arch, and restoring the south porch. Additional 19th century alterations comprised the construction of the north aisle in 1881 and the north porch in 1892. The church underwent another restoration in 1925, and a north vestry was added between 1969 and 1971.

The chancel contains a 13th century straight-headed aumbry in the east wall and a 13th century trefoiled piscina in the south wall. The font is 15th century, with an octagonal panelled bowl. There is a 17th century oak pulpit on a modern base, retaining its original hour-glass stand, and the royal arms of George III are displayed. A needlework panel dated 1698 depicts the Last Supper. The interior also includes several 17th and 18th century monuments, among them brass floor plates commemorating Elizabeth, wife of Francis Hervey (d1642), and Mary, wife of William Hervey (d1645), as well as a number of 18th century wall tablets. The floor slab that formerly marked the burial place of James Hervey (d. 1758) has been reset upright in the chancel.
