"On a commanding site above the Gipping Valley, St Peter's was commissioned by eccentric High Church rector, George Drury. It is stunning, full of vibrant stained glass and extravagant carvings. Drury himself was responsible for the design of the stained glass in the east and west windows and he may also have carved some of the stonework. The surviving nineteenth-century fittings are all of high quality and also bear the stamp of Father Drury's personality."
