The church of St. Peter, originally built during the first half of the 12th century, and almost entirely rebuilt in 1792 by Elizabeth Wingfield, is a small building of stone, originally Norman, consisting of chancel, nave and a tower on the south side, containing 2 bells : the lower stage of the tower forms a porch: over the chancel is a priest's chamber : the chancel arch is a fine example of Late Norman work : the windows in the chancel and on the south side of the nave are stained and are chiefly memorials to members of the Wingfield family : the stained west window was erected in 1911, by Lieut.-Col. John Maurice Wingfield D.S.O., O.B.E., J.P. to the memory of his father and mother: in the chancel is an ancient monument with an effigy in armour, supposed to represent Sir Rowland Daneys, ob. 1362 : the communion table, a good specimen of Jacobean work, was the gift in 1627 of Anne Beverly: the church was reseated and new roofed by J.
