St Peter's was probably built for Robert de Gournay in the 12th century. [2] The church was given to the Cluniac Priory of Bermondsey in 1112 by the Lady Hawisia de Gournay, and by the Cluniacs to the monks of Bath in 1239. [3]
The church has Norman arches and leper holes in the porch, which would have enabled lepers to hear the sermon without coming into contact with the rest of the congregation. [4] On either side of the chancel are corbel tables depicting animals and people. [5]
