It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Birkenhead, the archdeaconry of Chester, and the diocese of Chester.[1] The church is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.[2]

History

St Peter's was built between 1841 and 1842, and designed by Hurst and Moffatt. The chancel was added in about 1884.[3] The church was badly damaged by bombs during the Second World War. It was repaired, but did not re-open until 1958.[4]

Architecture

Exterior

The church is constructed in sandstone with slate roofs. The nave and steeple are in a variation of the Neo-Norman style, and the chancel is Gothic Revival. The plan consists of a six-bay nave, a chancel with a north organ chamber and a south vestry, and a west tower with a spire. The tower is in three stages with clasping buttresses and a west door. Above the door is a pair of round-headed windows under a segmental arch. In the top stage are triple bell openings. The cornice at the top of the tower has corner corbels carved with winged beasts. On the tower is a broach spire with lucarnes. Along the sides of the nave the bays are divided by square pilaster buttresses rising to fluted finials.{{efn|In the Buildings of England series these are described as "like cottage loaves".[3]}} The windows are round-headed. On the sides of the chancel are two-light Decorated windows, and the east window consists of triple stepped lancets.[2]

Interior

The interior of the church was refurbished after the war damage. A ceiling was added, and the interior was subdivided.[3] The octagonal font of 1853 is panelled. The choir stalls and panelling in the chancel are dated 1884 and 1923.[2] The stained glass in the east window dates from 1958 and depicts saints; it is by William Morris of Westminster.[2][3] The pipe organ was built by Henry Willis. It originally had two manuals, and a choir section was added later by H. Ainscough.[5] There is a ring of six bells, all of which were re-cast in 1914 by John Taylor & Co.[6][7]
