St Peter's Church, Cambridge

[1] The church is usually open and sometimes hosts art exhibitions in cooperation with the Kettle's Yard gallery.

The present structure is the remnant of one that went back to the 12th century, with a nave, chancel, south aisle, and west tower and spire.

Former county archaeologist Alison Taylor suggests that, due to its location, across the Roman road from St Giles' Church, it may have its origins in the Anglo-Saxon period but no evidence of the church prior to the Norman period has currently been discovered.

[4] St Peter's is now a single-cell church with a west tower and an octagonal 14th-century spire with dormers.

The weathervane has the initials AP; these are said to be those of Andrew Perne, a self-serving sixteenth-century vice-chancellor of Cambridge University and dean of Ely.
