				Hints of Verona?
St Peter’s is a beautiful Medieval church, located in an attractive tree-filled churchyard.
It’s great treasure is its Norman arcade, dating to around 1160 and fabulously carved with zig-zags and lozenge shapes. This was rescued from serious decay and respectfully restored in 1862.
The chancel arch is a little later and the aisles are an 1863 rebuild of predecessors pulled down in the 16th-century.
The dormer windows add a domestic touch, whereas the lions by the door are momentarily reminiscent of the grandeur of Verona or Venice.
