An unspoilt Medieval delight

Tall St Peter’s is a Medieval delight. It is built of flint with some old rendering still there, giving it an unspoilt look.

The splendid nave roof which is full of carved wooden angels dates from the 15th-century, and there are big Decorated and Perpendicular windows that bring light streaming into the church.

Beautiful monuments are mounted on the walls, including one dedicated to Cyrill Wyche, one of the first members of the Royal Society.

The peaceful churchyard is an oasis for wildlife.
