# St Peter & St Paul, Weobley

St Peter and St Paul is a Grade I parish church on Church Road, Weobley, Herefordshire, in the Diocese of Hereford and the Weobley and Staunton Benefice. Its mid-fourteenth-century tower and octagonal spire dominate the black-and-white village.

## Overview

Historic England records a thirteenth-century parish church incorporating some twelfth-century fragments, partly rebuilt in the fourteenth century with a detached tower that was attached in the fifteenth. The spire was partly rebuilt in the late seventeenth century after a lightning strike, and the church was restored in 1865. Fabric is coursed rubble with ashlar dressings under stone-tile and tile roofs. The plan is a nave with north and south aisles, a five-storey tower at the north-west corner, and a chancel with north vestry.

The mid-fourteenth-century tower has a deep plinth, crenellated parapet with tall crocketed pinnacles, and an octagonal spire supported by flying buttresses. Early fourteenth-century five-bay arcades have two-centred arches on octagonal columns, the eastern arches with ball-flower ornament. The south door is a reset twelfth-century opening with chevron. Fittings include a fourteenth-century octagonal font, a fifteenth-century armoured effigy, a pair of mid-fifteenth-century recumbent figures, and a marble monument to Colonel John Birch, MP (d. 1691).
