In 1873, the east end of the church was rebuilt, on the initiative of Isaac Crawhall, who was influenced by the Oxford Movement.
The church's west end has a large round-headed doorway, with zigzag moulding and surrounded by niches, one of which contains a weathered statue of the Virgin Mary.
Inside, there are alternating narrow and broad bays, above which there is what Historic England describes as "an extremely fine triforium arcade".
The east window is believed to be to a design by Edward Burne-Jones, and the ensemble has been described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "the finest stained glass in the West Riding".
Until the early 19th century, there was an annual ceremony in which a statue of Saint Peter was dug up, paraded, and then reburied.
