St Peter's Church, Cound

St Peter's Church in Cound is an Anglican place of worship built in English Gothic style from red, yellow, and grey sandstone. The structure features a west tower, chancel, and aisles that together form its distinctive shape.

The building's foundations date from 1250, with the nave being the oldest section. The south aisle was rebuilt during the 14th century.

The interior holds a Norman stone font from the 12th century and a carved wooden pulpit from 1633 that reflect the craftsmanship of past generations. These objects tell of the long worship here and the people who have gathered in this space.

The building hosts regular Anglican services as part of the Wenlock benefice serving multiple parishes in the Diocese of Hereford. Visitors should check local service times and opening hours before their visit.

The churchyard contains five listed structures, including an 18th-century dovecote, all set among chest tombs and gravestones. This collection of buildings and monuments around the main church creates a small historic precinct.
