St Peter's Church, Northampton, Norman church in Marefair, Northampton, England.
The church exterior combines reddish ironstone and yellow limestone, featuring a continuous arcade of eight bays separating the nave from the aisles.
Simon de Senlis II commissioned the construction between 1130 and 1140, replacing two previous churches that stood at the same location.
The interior displays Norman capitals with intricate carvings of faces, animals, and foliage, representing significant Romanesque sculpture work in England.
Visitors need to obtain keys from a nearby hotel to access the church, which now serves as a venue for concerts and educational events.
The church contains what scholars believe to be St Ragener's coffin lid, decorated with motifs potentially representing concepts of Cosmic Harmony.
