St Peter's is the only church in the Manchester area to have been commissioned from George Edmund Street (1869) is listed as Grade II.
The project was plagued with a lack of money from the start, and Street had to redraw the plans and cut costs. The lack of a clerestory makes the nave very dark.
The lych-gate, between the churchyard and the street, was added as a War Memorial after World War I, and features carvings by John Cassidy. It was unveiled in 1922, and is now a Grade II listed structure.
The church had a graveyard, which after the removal of most of the memorials was converted to a lawned area in the 1960s. A few memorials remained close to the church, and flagstone type memorials are now used as paths. These have all been photographed and are online.
