Located in the fields at the end of a twisting lane St Peter’s is surrounded by trees in the churchyard. It is a peaceful and unspoilt church with an appealing simplicity. The solid rustic tower is 12th-century or even earlier, and the rest of the church dates mainly from the 13th-and 14th-centuries.
The interior is light and airy with honey-coloured stone and a carved 17th-century roof. The windows in the south aisle contain rare and pretty 14th-century stained glass showing Saint Catherine with her wheel (looking strongly like a dart board) and Saint Cecilia playing a hand-held organ.
The monuments are very special. The two splendid 14th-century knights commemorate members of the Disney family. There is exquisite detail in the carving of the armour, belt and sword.
An even more extraordinary monument is a slab with a figure of a knight in relief. His head and praying hands at the top, and his feet at the bottom, are separated by an elaborate cross where his lower body and legs would be, and he has long flowing hair.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
There is one small step into porch. Ramp available into church if required.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
