St Peter’s Church, Allexton

Hints of Verona?

St Peter’s is a beautiful Medieval church, located in an attractive tree-filled churchyard.

It’s great treasure is its Norman arcade, dating to around 1160 and fabulously carved with zig-zags and lozenge shapes. This was rescued from serious decay and respectfully restored in 1862.

The chancel arch is a little later and the aisles are an 1863 rebuild of predecessors pulled down in the 16th-century.

The dormer windows add a domestic touch, whereas the lions by the door are momentarily reminiscent of the grandeur of Verona or Venice.
