Church of St Peter

The Church of St Peter features architectural elements characteristic of Norman design, with a substantial stone structure and a prominent three-stage tower rising above the landscape.

The construction of the Church of St Peter commenced in January 1050, establishing it as one of the first religious buildings in the Forncett region during the early medieval period.

The Grade I listed designation recognizes the church's national importance, placing it among the most significant historical religious structures within the broader English architectural heritage.

The church maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors who wish to explore its architectural details, historical features, and surrounding grounds during daylight hours.

Within the stone walls, visitors can examine original medieval craftsmanship in the form of carved figures, structural elements, and architectural details preserved across nearly ten centuries.
