About St. Peter's Church, Rockchapel

St. Peter's Church, Rockchapel was built around 1830. It has a cruciform plan, built of squared sandstone under a pitched artificial slate roof. Notable features include stained-glass windows, a bellcote and carved Stations of the Cross.

The building

The transepts and shallow chancel are later additions, as are the gabled porches on the east sides of the transepts. A more recent sacristy stands to the west, while limestone quoins distinguish the original block from the later work.
