St Peter's, Widmerpool - a photo on Flickriver

St Peter's at Widmerpool is an elusive building hidden away down a leafy path beyond a cul de sac (with no signs to direct, but if you follow the public footpath you should find it). What we see today is the result of an ambitious Victorian rebuilding (leaving only the medieval tower) with a richly ornamented exterior and gloriously vaulted chancel.

Inside the chancel draws the eye as the liturgical and architectural climax of the building, a beautifully flamboyant piece of Victorian architecture which greatly enlivens the interior the nave by contrast feels rather more serious). There are some rich furnishings and details, though the most notable piece within is the effigy of Harriet Robertson (d.1891), which is very difficult to photograph in the gloomy north-west corner.

I was pleased to find this church open and welcoming on my visit (if initially a little tricky to find!).
