St Peter

Sproxton

Leicestershire

Probably Norman origins, early C14 nave, aisles and chancel.

Architectural Features

Chancel re-faced 1667, late C14 west tower.

Door once Norman, now renewed.

Above it a plaque: E F 1667.

This 12th century font has been reworked at some point, perhaps as late as the 1875 restoration, but the pattern is almost certainly original.

The church is grade II* listed - https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1360956 .

C12 reworked font: inset engaged columns to stem and intersecting arches to octagonal bowl.
