Background
History
The manor of Clyffe Pypard was held in the 13th century by John de Cobham. A memorial engraving in St Peter's records "John de Cobham died in the ground here. He built this church". De Cobham died in 1300, In 1525 the Cobhams sold the manor to a William Dauntsey who promptly sold it on to a John Goddard. The Goddard family owned the manor, and the living of St Peter's, for the next four hundred years.
Architecture
The nave of the church is of five bays and dates from the 15th century, as does the tower. The chancel and the aisles are from Butterfield's mid-Victorian restoration. The building material is limestone, some finely cut into ashlar blocks and some used as rubble infill. Pevsner described the church's setting as "a lovely position below a wooded stretch of the cliff". The church is a Grade I listed building.
