[2] St Peter's consists of a three-bay nave with a narrow west tower, which were built in 1746, and a chancel, north vestry, and south chapel, which were added in 1873.

The windows are round-headed and have apron panels, moulded sills, angle pilasters, and Doric entablatures with triglyph friezes, archivolts, and keystones.

At the base of the tower is a porch with angle pilasters, a Doric entablature, and an entrance on the south side.

The chancel has angle buttresses, a three-light east window containing Geometrical tracery, and a cross on the gable.

The west gallery is carried on slim Doric timber columns, and has an entablature with a dentilled cornice.

[2][3] The pulpit is in the style of the 17th century, and was moved from St Saviour's Church in Liverpool when it was demolished.

[4] This was rebuilt and extended in 1949 by Rushworth and Dreaper as a war memorial, and altered in 1970 and again in 1982 by David Wells.

This is in stone and consists of a Tuscan column with a square abacus decorated with cyma moulding.

[10] A cross in the churchyard is a restored version of one initially erected by members of the 12th battalion, King's Liverpool Regiment in September 1916 near Ginchy in northern France.

Attached to the cross is the original metal plaque on which the names of eight officers who had died in the fighting are inscribed.

[17] Music plays an important place in the worship of the church,[18] and a mixed choir sings at the main services.
