St Peters Church

Braunstone

Leicestershire

Architectural Features

Tower probably C13 the remainder of the church probably also C13 with an C18 S porch.

The porch has a round-headed outer doorway with a tile-repaired keyblock.

Chamfered medieval chancel arch.

The braces descend as posts on to carved stone corbels.

Medieval Perpendicular chancel screen, much repaired with probably C19 coving and panelling, but the main structure with square-headed openings, is original.

Unusual font, perhaps C17.

The church has C13 origins and the tower is probably of this date.

The special interest of the Church of St Peter lies in its medieval fabric, including the tower and chancel arch and screen, and in the C17 font and C18 south porch.
