Full Description
The parish church of St Peter is built of local rubble and flint with ashlar and dressings of local freestone; the roofs are covered with tiles. The Chancel was built about the middle of the 13th century. The Nave, North Transept and South Porch are of uncertain date, the evidence having been destroyed by restoration. The West Tower was added early in the 15th century. The South Transept was added in the 18th century but
was much altered in the restoration of 1863 when the W. wall was removed and the adjoining South Aisle built, the N. transept and nave largely refaced and the Vestry added; the chancel was restored in 1841. The chancel is of some architectural interest. Architectural description. (2)
