St Peter's Church, Cambridge, Medieval church building on Castle Street, Cambridge, England
St Peter's Church features an octagonal spire rising from its west tower, with stone rubble construction and ashlar spire dating to the 14th century.
The church structure originated in the 12th century, and during the Tudor period, Elizabeth I transferred its ownership from the Crown to the See of Ely.
The interior contains a 12th-century baptismal font decorated with mermen figures, representing medieval craftsmanship and religious symbolism of the period.
The church building, managed by the Churches Conservation Trust, regularly opens its doors to visitors and functions as an exhibition space in partnership with Kettle's Yard gallery.
A weathervane with the initials AP sits atop the church spire, generating various interpretations among local residents regarding its intended meaning.
