St Peter's Church

St Peter's Church is within the Diocese of Leicester and was completed during the 12th century; the earliest reference to the church being in 1155 when the prior of Belvoir priory became Patron. The first rector is recorded in 1220.

Dominating the local skyline, the church tower is around 150ft high and is topped by an octagonal crocketed spire. Around the base of the tower are several gargoyles and water spouts; on the south side being a contortionist with his head between his legs, on the west is a lion and on the north a gurning face.

The Church is opened every day for visitors and also hosts various local community groups such as the vibrant Mums & Toddlers meeting; held every Wednesday morning - details in the Diary.

Costing £6700 a year to maintain, all donations are welcome to provide for the upkeep and other running costs of the church.
