Church of St Peter, 12th-century Grade I listed church in Alstonefield, England
The Church of St Peter exhibits Norman architecture with rounded arches, substantial columns, and local stone construction throughout its structure.
Archaeological evidence suggests an Anglo-Saxon church preceded the current structure, which was constructed around 1150 and expanded in later centuries.
The church maintains regular bell ringing sessions and religious services, forming a central part of the Alstonefield community's spiritual activities.
Located near Ashbourne at DE6 2FX, the church requires approximately £43 per day for maintenance and accepts donations for preservation efforts.
The churchyard contains what is considered England's oldest legible gravestone, a circular memorial stone for Ann Green from 1518.
