St Peter's Church is a church in Aston Flamville, Leicestershire. It is a Grade II listed building.
History
[edit]The church was built in the 11th century. It was possibly re-roofed in 1617.[3]
The font is modern and depicts Elijah in a chariot and Moses striking the rock with his staff.[3]
The tower contains two bells and is square,[4] after being changed from its original shape.[3]
The rectorial chair is set in the wall of the chancel. The chancel also has a memorial to Sir William Turville and his wife.[3]
The church has no aisles but does have a step leading to the chancel, a rare feature since most churches have 2. A kneeling knight stands next to the step.[3]
The chancel was restored in 1855 and in 1873, was rebuilt[4] along with the porch, tower and nave.[5]
