Church of St Peter and St Paul

The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul is a medieval parish church centered around a large east window filled with 15th-century stained glass panels. These panels depict scenes from the life of Christ and various saints in colorful detail.

The church was founded around 1300 and underwent major reconstruction in the 15th century, largely funded by Anne Harling and Sir Robert Wingfield. This rebuilding shaped the structure we see today.

The church holds medieval fonts and tombs carved for families who shaped the region over centuries. These monuments remain visible today, telling the story of those buried within these walls.

The church is easily accessible on foot with parking available within walking distance of the building. Visitors should remain flexible as access may depend on ongoing services or events taking place.

The stained glass windows were removed twice for protection: once in the 17th century against those who destroyed religious images, and again in World War II. These precautions saved some of the finest medieval artwork from being lost.
