St Peter's Church, Walpole St Peter

The church spans 160 feet in length and features large windows in Perpendicular style, rising twenty-one steps from the nave floor to the high altar.

Built around 1350, the church underwent reconstruction after floods in the 1330s destroyed the original structure, though its thirteenth-century tower remained standing.

The interior contains numerous wooden benches from the 15th century, along with carved figures, saints, and religious scenes depicted in the vaulted bosses.

The church maintains regular services under the Diocese of Ely and welcomes visitors who can access information about events through their Facebook page.

A tunnel runs beneath the high altar, allowing liturgical processions to continue without interruption despite later building extensions.
