The site of the parish church of St. Peter's (1863-67) was the site of an earlier church (DU018-020089----). The parish church was a T-shaped building with a N transept and galleries built on a site donated by Francis Aungier in 1680 (Bradley & King 1987, 2, 128; FMD map 1978, F17).
Excavations in the vicinity of this church in 1999 (97E0094) revealed paving tiles and the remains of twenty articulated inhumations (Reid,M 2000,72). These were part of a medieval burial horizon that was delimited to the west by the stone foundations of a medieval boundary wall c. 1.2m wide. Medieval pottery and line-impressed floor tiles were recovered from the clearance work-from later cellars where residual materials dating to the medieval phase had been dumped. The wall and cemetery have been provisionally identified as belonging to the medieval parish church of St Peter.
