It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Garstang, the archdeaconry of Lancaster and the diocese of Blackburn.

[citation needed] St Peter's is constructed in sandstone rubble, with tiled roofs and a shingled spire.

Its plan consists of a nave and a chancel under a continuous roof, a north aisle, a south porch, and a west tower surmounted by a broach spire.

[2] Inside the church the arcade between the nave and the north aisle has three-bays, the arches being carried on octagonal piers.

[2] The ceiling of the tower entrance to the church is decorated with Tudor roses, and with a frieze inscribed with words from Psalm 122.

[6] The two-manual organ was built in 1879 by John Nicholson, rebuilt in 1973 by Rushworth and Dreaper, and restored in 2009 by David Wells.
