There aren’t many churches called St Peter ad Vincula (St Peter in chains). According to the Bible, St Peter was bound in chains and imprisoned by Herod Agrippa and was miraculously released by angels. It is thought Crusaders brought back the chains from Jerusalem which were believed to have bound St Peter and they were kept as relics in niches on the east wall of the church. (The present chains are modern...)
You probably won’t find the church mentioned in the guide books although it is one of best examples of an unspoilt Early English Church. It dates from the C13th and was built to serve a large disperse rural area. It is a large church and there is much to admire in it.
The pre-reformation stone altar still with its inscribed consecration crosses, is in the north transept, disguised as a tomb... Queen Elizabeth had banned the use of stone altars and they had to be replaced by wooden altar tables. This fulfils the requirement to remove the altar, but at the same time preserving it for later use ....
The Sanctus Bell was also banned and this was hidden in a hole high in the west wall. It was discovered over 300 years later and now hangs near the altar at the end of the north aisle. It is still used during a communion service.
On the the wall just inside the north porch is a mass sundial, which marked the time of mass and other services for an illiterate population with no means of telling the time. It would originally have been on the outside south wall, but moved inside to protect it from erosion during the C19th restoration of the church.
There is also a squint on the west wall, allowing people showing symptoms of the plague or other diseases to observe church services.
There is a lot to see and admire....
