St Peter's - An Overview
A green and quiet setting – until an express train thunders past within yards of its elegant 14th century tower and spire. The great surprise is the arcades inside. The northern arcade has bold Norman arches of the 1100s, whilst its southern counterpart has graceful Gothic arches from some 200 years later, but still nearly 700 years old. There is much to see here, including beautiful 14th century stonecarving in the south aisle’s corbel faces and angle piscina. Richard Nailour (d.1616), his two wives and his children are represented on their alabaster monument, and a 16th century rector in academic robes and a 14th century knight in armour, are commemorated by brasses.
