About this church

The earliest surviving features are a Norman priest’s doorway and the font. In the 14th century St Peter’s was almost completely rebuilt and north and south aisles were added, all in the Decorated Gothic style. The low west tower was added in 1808 and has three 17th century bells: two cast in 1634 and two more cast in 1670. In 1878 the Gothic Revival architect Edwin Dolby (1849-95) restored the church and added a vestry.
