The tower of St Peter's Church is 13th century although the crenellated top was added later. The rest of the church, however, was extensively rebuilt in Elizabethan times - an era when church building was a rarity. It is believed that this came about because Sir Andrew Noel, who acquired the former monastic property in Brooke, decided to restore the village church at the same time as he was building Brooke House.
