St Peter's Church, Hartshorne
Heritage Open Day: An opportunity to climb the spiral staircase to the top of the church tower to see the bells and clock room. Churchyard trail and quizzes to learn more about the history of the church and churchyard. The church of St. Peter is a building of grey sandstone, consisting of chancel, nave, north aisle, west porch and an embattled Perpendicular tower at the west end of the aisle, containing a clock and 6 bells, the tenor being of pre-Reformation date, and finely lettered; the 2nd, 3rd and 4th were cast in 1792, the treble cast in 1973 and the 5th recast in 1974 and identically marked to the original C16 bell.
There has been a church on the site since the beginning of the fourteenth century, although it is likely that it was a place of worship before that time.
