The CHURCH PLATE includes a small silver chalice and paten dated 1889, an older lidded chalice doubling as a paten, a silver alms dish presented by the Hon Mrs Mills in 1842 and a large pewter flagon.

The punched brass alms dish represents the two faithful spies conveying a bunch of grapes and other fruits from the Promised Land. Many of these dishes were made in South Germany in the 15th to 17th centuries. They are difficuIt to date precisely.

Note the colourful KNEELERS worked by members of the congregation. The vestments are modern but Victorian embroidery has been remounted on a red burse and veil and on a purple stole. The commissioned WALL HANGING at the west end, by Ruth Simmons, appropriately features the crossed keys of St Peter as part of a Chi-Rho which also incorporates a shepherds crook together with a shoal of fishes.

The attractive CANDELABRA were made in 1974 by William Cobb, a Stutton resident. Electric light was installed in 1930, a succession of oil lamps had been used before this.
