The church is about a mile by road to the south east of the
village. It stands at the end of a no-through land on a slightly
elevated site, although it is not easily visible because of the
trees that surround it. Only the Old Rectory to the east keeps it
company.
There was a church here in 1086, when the Domesday
Survey was compiled. Since that time people of different periods
and Christian traditions have altered and beautified St Peter’s and
have left their mark on the building we see today. The nave’s north
doorway probably dates from the 12th century, as
possibly does the core of the nave walls. Work of 1280-1310 may be
seen in the chancel. The western tower was added later in the
14th century, whilst 14th and 15th
century craftsmanship may be seen in the nave and porch. The church
was largely rebuilt in 19th century by Edward Paske, who
was rector for nearly 70 years.
The church is part of the benefice that includes Creeting St
Mary and Earl Stonham.
