After the Norman Conquest, the little Saxon chancel was demolished and a new aisless nave and chancel were built in the Romanesque style. Additions over the centuries have given the church a rich and varied architectural style. Its history is a delight to discover with the help of English Heritage's informative displays which are based on extensive archaeological excavation. St Peter's Church has many unusual features including a window which is carved into its tracery the figures of Christ on the Cross, Mary and John. The church is owned by English Heritage and there is a permanent exhibition inside.
Access is via the entrance on the pathway along the south side of the church.
