This Grade I Listed church is one of the very few churches in the country dedicated to St. Peter ad Vincula (St. Peter in chains). It is reputed to be one of the very best specimens in the County of the Perpendicular period, built in the early 15th century. On 16th September 1940 the church was bombed by the German Luftwaffe. The roof of the nave collapsed, dragging down the north arcading and the roof of the north wall. Part of the tower was badly damaged, most of the stained glass windows were blown out, but the chancel, east end, south wall and south arcading survived. Many of the original medieval fittings were lost and the restoration was not completed until 1956. See Google photosphere of St Peter ad Vincula
