Arkley

St Peter, keyholder listed, is a very odd building - the west end being a very rough and ready brick build of 1840 and the chancel, 1898, a more conventional high Victorian neo-Gothic build. All in all I really liked it but didn't bother looking for the keyholder since a peak through the windows showed little of interest.

ST PETER. Rough brick church of 1840 with aisleless nave and transepts. Lancet windows. The chancel was added in 1898 (by Traylen; GR). - STAINED GLASS. E window 1903 by Kempe. - MONUMENT. Very simple epitaph to Enosh Durant d. 1848, at whose expense the church was built; the epitaph is signed by the Westminster Marble Company, not by an individual sculptor, a sign of the coming Victorian times.
