The west tower of St Peter's is Early English with Decorated bell-openings. Also Early English is the two-bay north arcade, with a pier capital of Purbeck marble. The north chapel is late 13th century and built of bands of oolite and blue lias. The arch into the south chapel or transept is late 14th century in date, as is the additional eastern arch of the north arcade and the two arches from the north arcade to the north chapel. The north aisle looks Perpendicular but is apparently Decorated. The doorway to the rood-stair can be found on the south side of the chancel arch. Restorations took place in 1858, 1885-6 (chancel and north chapel), 1902 (reroofing of nave), and 1909 (north chapel). The font is octagonal and Perpendicular in date. There are several effigies to the Disney family. {1}
