3/32 Parish Church of St Peter
II
Church, 1846, attributed to George Webster of Kendal. Ashlar with slate roof. Single vessel of 4 bays with west tower and spire. Plinth, sill string, corbel table, coping to gables on deep kneelers, east gable cross. Buttresses separate the bays and are chamfered and offset. Angle buttresses to east and west corners and to tower. Windows, in splayed reveals, are of 2 lights with a circle in the pointed head, including the west window; only the east window is more elaborate, having a stepped arrangement of 3 of these windows. The tower is of 3 stages, with a south doorway of one order. The third stage is splayed back to an octagon and has a small louvred belfry opening in each cardinal face. Short octagonal stone spire. The interior is very simple but retains the unity of nave and chancel, the principal feature being a low 3-decker pulpit at the head of the auditorium. Small organ gallery under the tower. Braced king-post trusses to roof. Clear lattice glazing. A. Taylor and J Haworth: The Websters of Kendal 1973
