History of St Peter and All Souls
The church building and the nearby presbytery (which is where the priests live) were both designed by a famous architect named Leonard Stokes. They were finished in 1896. Both buildings are known for their beautiful Gothic style, which means they look like old European churches and castles with pointed arches and detailed stonework.
Building Details
The church and presbytery are considered very important buildings. They are listed as Grade II buildings, which means they have special historical or architectural value and are protected. The church itself is built from strong stone, and its roof is made of stone tiles, giving it a very classic and sturdy look.
