St. Peter Church, Dormington
St. Peter Church, Dormington, Herefordshire stands near the middle of the parish, close to the A438 Hereford to Ledbury road. It is a Grade II* listed building and dates from Norman times, but was extensively renovated in 1877. The church has three bells. The oldest was made by John Finch in 1652. Nevertheless, the church has some interesting features including a 13th Century font, 17th Century memorials and attractive stained glass, dating from the 19th Century renovation. The bronze doorknocker is unique among European knockers in style and type, consisting of the head of a feline beast with large eyes and a ring through its mouth. It has affinities to the grotesque work at Kilpeck and elsewhere in the area. The original is kept in Hereford Cathedral Treasury for safe keeping; there is a replica on the church door.
