St. Peter's church was founded before the Norman Conquest, and was a minster served by a college of canons. Following lengthy disputes between the abbeys of Shrewsbury and Seez in Normandy, both of whom claimed patronage, in 1237 its substantial revenues were transferred to Hereford Cathedral. The church building was substantially extended in the twelfth century, and a south aisle added a century later. In 1860 the south side was rebuilt and the church roofs replaced, and a more extensive restoration in 1883 (T. Nicholson, architect) removed most the post Reformation furnishings.
