[2]The chancel, with a temporary nave, was consecrated on Sunday 10 September 1871 by Reverend Bishop Ryan, vicar of Bradford.

This was moved to St Bartholomew's Church, Armley and a smaller organ installed in 1869.

There have been restorations by Brindley & Foster, Abbott & Smith, Binns, J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd, and Prested.

St Peter's has a fine ring of eight bells in the tower which were cast by John Taylor of Loughborough.

They achieved a certain notoriety when they became the first tower in the United Kingdom to have an injunction made on the bells for an offence of noise pollution.
