Church of St Peter, Norman church in Tickencote, England
The Church of St Peter features a three-bay nave, chancel, two-storey tower with bell-stage, and north transept used as vestry.
The church foundation dates to January 1150, with a major reconstruction in 1791 by architect Samuel Pepys Cockerell at Elizabeth Wingfield's expense.
The chancel arch displays six orders of decorative Norman carvings, representing medieval religious craftsmanship through geometric patterns and figurative designs.
The building contains multiple architectural elements, including a pyramidal roof tower, Collyweston slate coverings, and limestone walls from local quarries.
The chancel incorporates a rare sexpartite vault system, which represents an early introduction of this architectural feature in English religious structures.
