"The living of St. Peter's is a rectory, with the livings of Kingsthorpe and Upton annexed, valued in the king's books at £34. 2. 11.; net income, £860; patrons, the Governors of St. Katherine's Hospital, London. The church, supposed to have been erected about the same time as the castle, is a beautiful and perfect specimen of the enriched Norman style, with a highly ornamented tower communicating with the church by a finely-moulded arch; the details are exquisitely wrought, and exhibit some of the finest models in that style: east of the chancel is a vaulted crypt. The roof of the church is supported on circular arches, and alternately clustered and single-shafted columns; the font is richly ornamented in the later English style, and there are various monuments, among which is one to the memory of John Smith, an eminent mezzotinto engraver, who died in 1742." [Samuel Lewis. A Topographical Dictionary of England (1848)]
