St Peter

Maer

Staffordshire

Partly late C12/early C13 fabric, with C14 additions, almost entirely re-built in C17 and thoroughly restored by Lewis and Son of Newcastle-under-Lyme c.1870.

Architectural Features

Tower: probably mid-to-late C17 in Gothic Survival style.

Gabled south porch: C17 with rather roughly-shaped round-headed outer arch and lancet opening above

the south door itself is transitional , one order of shafts with an arch of one step and one slight chamfer, but most of the stonework has been replaced North aisle, organ chamber and vestry all under continuous catslide roof apparently late C19 (plain mullioned windows on north side), but the C17 window of 2 round arches under a square head in the west wall (which seems to be in situ) shows that the aisle must actually be a re-building Interior: tall, narrow pointed tower arch

north nave arcade of 2 pointed bays with a central octagonal pier probably C14

all the fittings and furnishings are also of late C19 or later date except the late C12 font, a round basin with circular moulded pedestal on chamfered octagonal plinth

C20 stained glass in north aisle by Shrigley and Hunt.

Monument: in arched recess on north side of chancel
