St Peter's, Little Barrington
St Peter's church at Little Barrington is not a grand building but one of great charm and antiquity nonetheless, as witnessed to some striking Norman features, such as the elaborate south doorway in the porch (well preserved though with some restoration) and the easily missed tympanum on the north side (the remains of a blocked doorway in the corresponding position). Another curious feature of the exterior is the 18th century monument embedded in the east wall of the porch, unusual in both its setting and looking at least a century earlier.
Inside there is a single aisle in addition to the nave on the north side, the two separated by a fine late Norman/transitional arcade with two low and unusually wide arches, whilst about the walls are several painted texts from the 18th century.
