Parish Church
The Church of England parish church of Saint Peter was built in 1862, on the site of an earlier church, in a 14th century Gothic Revival style. The walls are predominantly a dark grey rag-stone with ashlar dressings. It has a chancel, north chapel (used as an organ chamber), nave of three bays, west tower with tall octagonal shingled spire, and south porch. In front of the porch is a fine old yew tree. The church is now redundant and no longer used for worship.

Famous quotes containing the words parish and/or church:
“My stardust melody, the memory of love’s refrain.”
—Mitchell Parish (1901–1993)
“Baseball is the religion that worships the obvious and gives thanks that things are exactly as they seem. Instead of celebrating mysteries, baseball rejoices in the absence of mysteries and trusts that, if we watch what is laid before our eyes, down to the last detail, we will cultivate the gift of seeing things as they really are.”
—Thomas Boswell, U.S. sports journalist. “The Church of Baseball,” Baseball: An Illustrated History, ed. Geoffrey C. Ward, Knopf (1994)
