St Peter's, Glenfield

The church of St Peter at Glenfield is an 1874 replacement for the medieval church which survives as a ruin nearby in the churchyard, now almost completely engulfed by ivy and barely recognisable.

 

The Victorian church is vaguely cruciform with a pyramid-capped central tower sitting over small transepts and a shallow chancel beyond whilst the nave is a larger space. The fittings are all contemporary with the building apart from the fragments of a 15th century tomb brought in from the old church. The stained glass is by Heaton, Butler & Bayne.

 

St Peter's is usually kept locked outside of service times. For more information see the link below:-
