Summary Description

St Peter’s is a building of high significance, on an isolated upland site some distance from the village it serves. The fabric is mainly of the late twelfth and thirteenth centuries, with a tower added in the fifteenth century. The church was restored several times in the nineteenth century and the north aisle, the roofs and most of the furnishings date from that period. The church has a close association with the former Little Rissington RAF station nearby and many airmen are buried in the churchyard.
