St Peter's Church, Duxford

St Peter's Church was probably constructed in the 1100s. The medieval parish church still holds the essence of the Norman origins in the square three-stage tower, the wide, low arch that leads from the tower to the nave, and the square font.

About this building

The paintings in the church narrate the story of some Victorians. For instance, there is a portrait of Revd Henry Carter, who served as the Rector of Duxford from 1875 to 1904. The church was repaired and remodelled under the supervision of Ewan Christian, a famous architect. The church is known for its architecture and interior features. The stained glass windows and the Pre-Raphaelite-inspired mosaic panel behind the alter commemorates Revd Carter and his family.
