St Peter

Burnley

Lancashire

C15 west tower , nave and north aisle rebuilt C1532, south aisle rebuilt in 1789-91 and north aisle again rebuilt in 1802 (both with galleries)

Architectural Features

The narrow 5-bay nave (of the same width as the tower) has a clerestory of square-headed 4-light Tudor-style mullioned windows and an embattled parapet with large crocketed corner pinnacles.

Both aisles extend eastwards alongside the chancel but are of unequal width and length, the narrower north aisle having a westward extension embracing the tower, but they are in matching style with 2-storeyed chamfered Tudor arches containing 4-light mullioned windows on both floors, those at 1st floor arched, and all with uncusped round-headed lights and hollow spandrels
