St Peter's Church, Southrop

St Peter's is built of limestone rubble and has a stone slate roof.[1] The masonry has herringbone work.[2] The plan consists of a nave with a south transept, a porch to the north, and a chancel to the east.[1] The north entrance is Norman-style ("on quite a grand scale for a small church");[8] the round arch of the porch has roll moulding. The church doorway's jamb shafts have capitals with volutes. In the hood mould there is a tympanum with a diaper pattern.[2]

The north and south nave walls each have a window dating from the 12th century, and a later two-light window from the 19th century. The nave also has a three-light Perpendicular style window with tracery. The east window in the chancel contains stained glass from 1852 designed by Thomas Willement.[1]

The arch between the nave and chancel is Norman-style without moulding.[2] There are two piscinae (basins) in the south wall of the chancel.[1] The baptismal font discovered by Rev. John Keble in the 1820s is circular. It has eight arches and relief figures that include the Virtues (depicted as trampling the vices underfoot) and Moses.[2][4] Monuments inside the church include effigies to Thomas and Elizabeth Conway, and memorials to the Keble family.[1][9]

The churchyard contains war graves of a soldier of World War I and another of World War II.[10]
