The Church of St Peter and St Paul is the Church of England parish church in Market Overton, Rutland. The church is part of the Oakham team ministry. [2] It is a Grade I listed building. [3]
The church primarily dates from the late 13th and early 14th century [4] though it does have a tower arch dating from the Anglo-Saxon era, the "only worthwhile piece of Anglo-Saxon architecture in the County". [3]
The tower was added[ dubious ] in the 13th century but the top section was added the following century and it was also raised. [5] [ better source needed ]
There is an Early English [6] column capital inverted to make a base for the Norman bowl, on the font. [5]
A coffin the size of an infant is on the north side of the tower arch and was probably made for an Anglo-Saxon family. [5] On the east wall of the chancel, is a monument to Henry Tymperon. There is also a monument to Thomas Cox, a former rector. [5]
The sundial on the south face of the tower is said to have been donated by Sir Isaac Newton. [3] [6] His mother, Harriet Ayscough, lived in the village. [5]
