It was built in the 1820s on the site of a demolished medieval church. History The medieval church of St Peter originally stood "not exactly on the same site" as the present church. It was demolished in 1822 when the Lucy family of Charlecote Park employed Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson to design and build a new parish church in the Gothic Revival style.
