Background
History
St Peter's was built between 1841 and 1842, and designed by Hurst and Moffatt. The chancel was added in about 1884. The church was badly damaged by bombs during the Second World War. It was repaired, but did not re-open until 1958.
Architecture
The interior of the church was refurbished after the war damage. A ceiling was added, and the interior was subdivided. There is a ring of six bells, all of which were re-cast in 1914 by John Taylor & Co.
