St Peter’s is the oldest church in Shaftesbury where there were eleven churches in mediaeval times. It was built at the top of Gold Hill as a pilgrim church outside the walls of the Benedictine Abbey. John Schip is the first known incumbent (1305). However, there is evidence of an earlier building on this site, in the form of ancient foundations under the nave floor.
It is evident that the town experienced great poverty in the 14th and 15th centuries. The French war and then the Black Death of 1348-1357, which deprived the town of masons and depleted the population, were major disasters. In consequence, the completion of the church was prolonged and much of the building is of the decorated and perpendicular style.
Of the present structure, the lower part of the tower is the oldest; the nave and its arcades are of the 14th century, the Clerestory was added in the 15th/16th centuries. The panelled oak roofs of the nave St-Peters-planand the North Aisle are also of the same date. In early times the walls were brightly coloured but painted over in Oliver Cromwell’s time. When restoration took place the North Parapet could not be retained due to the poor state of the stone.
The ancient Church of St Peter in the Suffolk village of Bruisyard stands on gently rising ground overlooking the River Alde. Its antiquity is possibly confirmed by Saxon features evident in the tower's flint work. Although some believe it to be Norman, others believe the origin of the round tower has an even earlier date.
Round towers were built from late Saxon times until about 1400, and there are a total of 181 still standing, more or less! - in England, of which 38 are in Suffolk.
A church at Haresfield in Gloucestershire was first recorded in 1161 when Henry of Hereford, the lord of the manor, granted it to Llanthony Priory. Some parts of the fabric of the church mentioned in the 12th century survive in today’s Church of St Peter.

Dating from the 12th Century, it is unusual because it is thatched - there are only about 100 thatched churches in England, and it has a round flint tower which is a feature found mainly in East Anglia. The tower has an octagonal storey added in about 1300.
In the porch is a remnant of a Zeppelin which was brought down in 1917.

St Peter Mancroft is a parish church in the Church of England, in the centre of Norwich, Norfolk. After the two cathedrals, it is the largest church in Norwich. It was originally established by the then Earl of East Anglia, Ralph de Gael between 1066 and 1075. It was later rebuilt, between 1430 and 1455.
The parish church of St Peter was built at the end of 1849 and consecrated on 1 April 1850. It was built in a neo-gothic style from local stone on the site of an ancient farm.

Northamptonshire was once known as "the county of squires and spires" on account of the numerous country estates and the beautiful stone-built churches with spires. St Peter's at Walgrave is one of the latter. The village has a population of just over 800, and on a personal note has a very fine pub - the Royal Oak - where I was given a surprise family party on a very important certain birthday a few years ago.
The Grade I-listed church has a fine late 13th century west tower, though most of it dates from the 14th century. Particular mention is made of its beautiful windows in the entry in British Listed Buildings. See britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101281745-church-of-st-peter...
Was probably founded at the beginning of the 14th century.Although no documents bearing this out exist tuday,we do know that when the Chorch was first mentioned in 1346 it had alredy been consecrated for divine worship. It was dedicated to St.Peter and St.Paul.
St.Peter`s Church has a triple-aisled nave with transept and ambulatory.All of it is built in the so called Baltic Gotihic style. Its closest prototype would appear to be St.Mary`s Church at Lubeck.The exterior of the Church is distinguished by its flying buttresses and elegant arches soaring over aisle and ambulatory alike.The tower was given its present apperarance in 1890.Grouped around the main building are several additional erections.To the north of the tower lies the Baptistery or Merchant`s chapel (Krämarekapellet),beloning to the 15th century.To the south lies St.Anna`s chapel,built around 1500 and dedicated to the mother of the blessed Virgin Mary.

This is our local village church, St Peter's, which dates from the late 1100s though we know the tower was built in the 1300s. The church is Grade II*-listed. The were originally two villages - Upper and Lower Isham. A manor corresponding with Upper Isham certainly predates the Norman Conquest and included a mill down on the River Ise. Our old farm cottage just off the main road dates from 1668 and other than the church is one of the oldest buildings left in the village. The vast majority of the earlier buildings would have been wattle and daub, and have long since disappeared.
