Background
History
St Peter's was built in 1849, and designed by Charles and James Trubshaw. It was planned to have a spire, but this was never built. A grant of £257 () was given towards its construction by the Church Building Commission.
Architecture
Inside the church is a west gallery. The nave is divided from the aisles by five-bay arcades carried on circular piers whose capitals are decorated with stiff-leaf carving. The bowl of the font has blind trefoil arcading, and is carried on clustered shafts. The wooden lectern is elaborately carved. There is a ring of eight bells, all of which were cast in 1947 by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough.
