Although the churches of All Saints' > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1869679 and St Peter's in Weasenham represent two civil parishes they have been united for ecclesiastical purposes since the earliest records dating back to the 12th century. St Peter's church is situated in the part of the village once known as Lower or North Weasenham. A survey carried out in 1602 states that at that time the chancel was exceedingly decayed due to neglect. St Peter's church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1869607 has since been restored several times, receiving new roofs, a south aisle and a new vestry. The octagonal font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1869663 has the initials R.K.M and the date 1607 carved into its bowl but is believed to be somethat earlier than the date indicates. Panels of medieval stained glass > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1869651 can be seen set into the north windows of the nave.
