St Peter's Church, Tickencote

The vaulting with its carving is original but may have been re-constructed in 1792 when the church was rebuilt and the chancel was encased with stonework, decorated in Romanesque revival style.

The restored east end of the chancel has blind arcades of intersecting round-headed arches and engaged round shafts.

There is a round-headed east window with stylized leaf-mouldings and billet-moulded hood mould continuing as frieze to either side.

The tower acts as a porch and the round-headed entrance has roll-moulded orders and tympanum with a tablet to Eliza Wingfield, at whose expense the 1792 restoration was undertaken.

The font currently is positioned close to the arch, but an eighteenth-century plan shows that it was originally closer to the west end on the north side.
