St. Peter’s Church was founded in 1833 but was enlarged and redecorated mny time over the years.
Both the church and the priory were designed by local architect John Murray. Originally the church was intended to have a tall spire to dominate the composition but it was never completed.
Small Roman Catholic church on an important site in the town but sadly lacking any sort of impressive presence.
Built in 1859 for the Corn Exchange Company, but the cost of building it put the company into liquidation and so the Town Commissioners bought it for 4,000 pounds.
