St. Peter's Church was built in 1837, replacing earlier buildings. Ethel Smyth once preached from the pulpit. Famous people buried in the churchyard include: Bret Harte, the American author, who died on 6 May 1902; William George Cubitt, who won the Victoria Cross in the Indian Mutiny for saving three men's lives at the risk of his own during the retreat from Chinhut; John Frederick Lewis, a British 19th-century painter; Charles Wellington Furse, a British 19th-century painter; and Sir Doveton Sturdee (1859-1925) a British admiral who decisively defeated the German squadron under Graf Maximilian von Spee at the Battle of the Falkland Islands in 1914, for which he was made a baronet.
