Hidden among the trees in the fold of the hill, St Peter's Church,
with its solid Norman tower, is a quiet and reassuring building.
The rest of the church was rebuilt in the 12th century, then
given an elegant ceiling in the 17th and refashioned on the
south side in the 19th.
The original church was 9th century Saxon, making it one of the
earliest in this area, but nothing now remains of this. The early
19th century saw Richard Heber as Lord of the Manor and his
brother Reginald as Bishop of Calcutta and author of many
glorious hymns. Richard was perhaps the greatest book collector
of all time, but his enthusiasm bankrupted the estate, and the
'dreadful Roundells' took over - their massive hatchments are
still here.
St Peter's lies next to the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, the Pennine
Way and the Cross Keys pub, making it an excellent point to
begin and end a walk. A quiet church, much used for prayer and
personal reflection.
