St Peter's Church, Chester, Gothic church in Chester, England
The red sandstone structure features a continuous nave with chancel, four aisles, and galleries above the outer sections and west end.
The initial church establishment occurred in 907 by Ethelfleda, with the current building dating from the 14th to 16th centuries.
The church maintains medieval wall paintings, including a fresco on the northeast pier that represents the finest preserved medieval artwork in Cheshire.
The building stands near Chester Cross, with access through seven stone steps and arrangements for ramp entry upon request.
The church tower previously contained a spire that faced multiple rebuilds until its final removal in 1780 following lightning damage.
