Summary Description

Construction of St Peter's church took place between 1910 and 1912. It's design came from local architects Barrowcliff and Allcock, and included some collaboration with Weatherley of London. It is a large building of a Free Gothic style, with nave and chancel under a continuous, steeply-pitched roof. The nave has four wide bays and a further partial bay at the west end comprising entrance porches on either side. Both north and south aisles lean against the nave and stop short of the chancel.
