St Peter

Peter Tavy

Devon

Probably C14 origin much rebuilt in C15, restored in the 1870's.

Architectural Features

The Church may originally have been cruciform but heavily remodelled in C15 when a north transept would have been absorbed into the new aisle and the west tower and south porch added.

The north aisle has 5 windows, all 2-light with restored tracery except for the central window which is circa late C15 and taller with cinquefoiled heads and square hoodmould.

The south wall has a C15 2-light window with cinquefoiled heads to the right and a reconstructed C15 window to its left.

The font is C15 or C16, octagonal with carved panels.

On the north wall of the chancel is a good wall memorial of 1722 to Revd.

2 sections of panelling from the rood screens are preserved and hung on the west wall of the nave.

2 sections of a carved pew-front are preserved in the transept dating from the early-mid C16 judging from the Renaissance motifs used in the carving.
