St Peter

Mid Suffolk

Suffolk

Mediaeval, with major alterations in the Decorated Gothic style, 1852, by R.M. Phipson for Revd.

Architectural Features

At both west corners of the nave are exposed long-and-short quoins of C10 or C11.

Plaintiled roofs with crested ridge tiles and parapet gables.

Nave wallings probably has C11/C12 core including semi- circular rear-arch in south doorway.

The east wall of the chancel and short return sections, have some early C14 work including east window.

Tower added in C15, with some good detailing.

North and south moulded nave doorways of C15

North and south C15 nave windows, the latter restored.

C15 north porch

The fabric of the C15 alterations, including tower, makes much use of concealed red brick.

Late C15 nave roof in 3 bays of collar-beam trusses, the collar braces springing from shafts with moulded capitals

Good octagonal limestone font of c.1400, with a sunk panelled stem and well-carved crowns, shields and heads.

The C19 work includes richly-carved stonework, e.g. foliate corbels from which spring the crossing arches, and the piercea traceried pulpit.

Some stained glass figures in the C13 manner in the east window are believed made by Revd.

Later C19 stained glass in several windows.

The vestry, although mainly C19 work, seems to have a mediaeval cornice, also possibly some flint walling.
