Nowton is in the Hundred of Thingoe and stands in flat, arable land, recently given over to rape crops, only 2 miles S of the centre of Bury St Edmunds. St Peter's has a nave with a N aisle, a short chancel with a S vestry and a W tower. The nave has a S doorway in situ and a N doorway reset in the 19thc. aisle. Also reset in the E wall of this aisle is a plain 12thc lancet. The S nave windows are round-headed but 19thc. and the S wall of the nave is mortar rendered. The N aisle is neo-Romanesque (Pevsner says 'painful neo-Norman') dating from 1843. There is no clerestorey but a dormer in the roof. The arcade is of four bays, and the exterior wall in flint with stone dressings, has the usual overblown detailing on the windows and a gable over the doorway. The chancel is ofc.1300, but was restored, and the vestry added, in 1876. The flint west tower is 14thc. and has no buttresses but a tall plinth and a polygonal south bell stair. When the church was visited the interior was being repainted and no internal photography was possible. The only Romanesque work is on the two nave doorways.
