St. Peter ad Vincula and was built between 1822 and 1826 to the designs of Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson. In 1856 it was extended by George Gilbert ScotT. The church, which was described in the Victoria County History as one of the earliest and best examples of the work of the nineteenth century Gothic revivalists has been upgraded to Grade I listing status. On behalf of the Parish, in 1999 the Practice made an application to the Heritage Lottery Fund which proved successful. During 2000/2001 a major programme of repairs was undertaken to reroof the Tower and repair the Tower masonry as well as other miscellaneous repairs. Safety works carried out in 2001-2 included the erection of scaffolding to the Apse bay 9 to allow the safe removal of the pinnacle apex stone. A further stage of safety works was carried out in May 2002 to remove/make safe loose stonework to the Apse and to provide temporary mortar cappings where finials were removed. The scope of the 2004 quinquennial repairs included replacement stone balustrade to south elevation and masonry repairs to the lower section of the west tower. In March 2002 impact damage to the main gates, railings and plinth wall resulted from collision with a vehicle. An insurance claim was subsequently made and repairs to the iron gates and railings were completed in December 2005. The quinquennial inspection was carried out in December 2005 with a second inspection in January 2006 to complete the inspection of external stonework and to gain access into the Undercroft. During the first inspection, heavy showers revealed serious roof leaks through the Nave, Chancel and Apse roof coverings requiring urgent action pending future phases of grant aided repairs. A programme of repairs commenced in January 2006 to the stone flagged floors in the west porch, Nave and Chancel; limited re-plastering works and the replacement of the worn west step On behalf of the Parish, a second successful application to the Heritage Lottery Fund and English Heritage for grant was made by the Practice in 2007.
