Believed to be by Frederick Preedy (1869). St Peter's church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/845887 has its C13 tower offset and located at the west end of the south wall, rather than at the west end of the building > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/845894 - a peculiarity that a number of other churches in the area share. The nave was destroyed and the chancel defaced by fire in 1867 and as a consequence not many details of the old church have survived > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/845909 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/845949. The arched tomb recess in the north nave wall is a C19 copy > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/845912. The Victorian font is made of shiny dark Porphyry marble and decorated with an etched symbol of the Holy Trinity. The east window is a memorial to the family of the Rev. Rowland Ingram and is believed to have been designed by Frederick Preedy in 1869 see > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/845929 for detail. Fragments of medieval stained glass have been inset in one of the nave south windows > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/845935. The church is kept locked.
