St Peter's Church, Pirton, Worcestershire
The Norman Church consisted of a Nave and short Sanctuary without transepts divided by a massive central tower. Of this late 11th century Church the Nave (apart from the West wall, which was rebuilt in the 14th century) survives. The half-timbered square tower at the North-west of the Nave (one of five such structures in the county) replaced the central tower in the reign of Henry VIII. It has an oak framework filled with wattle and daub, and is a magnificent example of Tudor construction. The pyramidal roof is modem. The tower houses three 17th century bells and an 18th century clock.
