St Peter's church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2085647 is thought to have been built on the site of an older church but no evidence of an older building has ever been discovered. In 1883 the old church was demolished almost to the ground and new walls were raised to replace the crumbling old ones - the new building being an almost exact copy of the medieval church. A new north porch was added and in the late 1980s an extension was added onto this porch which presently serves as the Parish Room. Nothing much has remained from the old church but the C14 baptismal font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2085701 is original. The stained glass windows > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2085681 date from the 19th century. A grid line runs through the west end of the church, (geographically) separating the tower and part of the nave from the rest of the building.

Although Carlton Colville has expanded rapidly with many new estates and is now just a suburb of Lowestoft, St Peter' Church is away on the western edge with fields beyond. Another new estate has appeared to the north-west in the ground of Carlton Hall so one wonders for how much longer it will be possible to see fields from the churchyard. The west tower has an Early English ground floor and a Decorated top. The nave has one renewed Norman window but the nave and chancel have been over-restored.
