Principally C14th, with C15th north & south transepts on chancel & C16th extension (made of 3 aisles with valleys) of chancel and transepts eastwards. Modern repairs to nave & north porch. C19th slate headstones & chest tombs. The church of St Peris is in the village Nant Peris. Originally the village was known as Llanberis, but in the 19th century, the new development 4 kilometres ( miles) north west lower down in the valley took the name Llanberis, and the old village became Old Llanberis, and then Nant Peris.
