Background
History
St. Peter's dates from 1080. It was enlarged in the 13th century, and almost completely rebuilt during the following two centuries, re-using some 13th-century material. The church was restored in 1877–78 by G. E. Street. The restoration included adding the steeply pitched roof to the chancel, which involved reducing the height of the side walls to increase its pitch.
Architecture
Inside the church are four-bay arcades carried on octagonal piers. The two-manual pipe organ was built in the 1860s by Nicholson and Lord, and moved here in 1885. Pneumatic action was added in 1937 by Rushworth and Dreaper, and further modifications, including replacing the pneumatic action with mechanical action, have been made since 1999 by P. D. Collins. There is a ring of eight bells. Four of these were cast in 1721 by Abraham Rudhall II, and the other four by John Taylor and Co, one in 1887, one in 1957, and the final two in 1977.
