Grid Ref: SJ 765 337 St. Peter's at Broughton was built by Thomas Broughton in 1630-34 as a chapel for Broughton Hall, which was being restored and extended at that time. It was built on the site of an earlier chapel.The church is in the Gothic style and its original 17th century box pews remain intact.There two aisles have two-bay.The chancel contains stained glass windows brought from the Low Countries by the Delves and Broughton families.There is a window of heraldic devices in the north wall of the chancel.The South window shows Sir John Delves,killed at the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471 and is thought to have been removed from Doddington Castle.These windows were installed in the late 18th century and some are much older than the fabric of the church.The earliest is from the 15th century.The north chancel window has nine heraldic devices. Among the families represented are Lees, the Delves, the Savages,Duttons, and Sneyds.Several of these were connected with the Delves family of Doddington Hall near Wynbunbury in Cheshire and it is thought that these windows were removed from Doddington Hall and from the medieval church at Wynbunbury which was being replaced in the late 18th century.The first four chaplains were buried in the nave.
