26.   Grade I   SOUTH STREET  (East side) - parish church of St Peter and St Paul

Two Saxon arches discovered in 1892 to the north suggest that a church may have existed on this site from early times but the present building was formerly the Church of the Priory of Augustinian  (Arrouaisian) Cannons founded in 1138 by Count Baldwin FitzGilbert (Strongbow). Black arcading to the north west of the church at its west end may be the remains of the monks' domestic quarters and traces of the kitchens survived into the late 19th century. When the priory was dissolved in 1540 the church was retained for the parish. The four-bay nave arcading is the only Norman work to survive, each side being borne on massive piers with scalloped capitals. The aisles were wid­ened in the 18th century. Modern alterations to the north side. A rebuilding scheme was commenced in 1200 but the twin towers projected for the west end only the south west one was completed. The tower is perpendicular with pairs of transomed two-light bell openings. The north east pier has been strengthened. A triple lancet replaced the original perpendicular one in 1870.

The south porch is 15th century, embattled in the decorated style. Perpendicular west doorway, aisle window to north and south and tall light clerestory windows. The chancel was rebuilt in 1807. The 15th century octagonal font is perpendicular with an inscription over all eight fields. Brass chandelier of three tiers dated 1752. Many of the gravestones and tombs in the churchyard have well-designed and executed ornament and lettering.
