St Peter is a pretty little Norman church with a little bell turret at the west end which is rather squat, and from a distance, in this murky light, looks like a little like a chimney. The most striking feature as you approach is the grand Norman doorway in which is set the south entrance. The door itself is medieval, with the old ironwork banding making it secure.
The 19th century restoration by Butterworth was gentle to St Peter, and the brick floors give the interior great character. There are a few impressive late medieval survivals: the font is elegant and harmonious, with blank shields which must once have been painted alternating with roses.
