The parish church of St Peter was until the late 19th century a medieval building. In 1871–73 it was rebuilt by Sir Tatton Sykes of Sledmere. [9] The architect for the new building was G. E. Street who included a spire based on the English Gothic of c.1300. There are three richly decorated roofs over the nave, chancel and ground floor of the tower (the latter being used as the baptistery). A full set of stained glass windows was supplied by Clayton & Bell but this was replaced less than 20 years later. The irreparably damaged font was buried in the floor below a new one. [10]
