This Anglican parish church is dedicated to St. Peter. It was built in the fourteenth century, with the chancel and sanctuary added around 1540. The church was restored in 1879 and the tower was restored in 1897. The North Door was blocked up in 1879. This door was originally known as the "Devil's Door" because it was opened during baptisms so that evil spirits could leave the church after a child had been Christened.
