St Peter, Chalvey, Slough: north arcade
St Peter's, built in 1860-61 to designs by the Oxford Diocesan architect G E Street, has one of the most memorable interiors of his small mission churches. The strong leaf capitals at eye level on the piers and notching of the arcade arches add character to the arcade of the north aisle and the use of dressed flint as the filler material throughout alongside red brick and stone is unique in an English church, so far as I know.

St Peter, Chalvey, Slough
Most of the important elements of G E Street's 1859 design are seen here: the sprouting capitals and notched arches of the north arcade; original furnishings; the bold east rose window and the colour scheme of dark flint dressed with red brick and stone.
