Erected in 1868, St Peter’s Church is a brick structure on a foundation of wooden piles, built in the 'Early English' style.  It has a chancel, nave, transepts, south porch, and a central bell-turret with a short spire.

The Church has one bell, dated 1691, a gift from Ely Cathedral from whence also comes  a very handsome font of Italian marble, dated 1693.  The font has an elaborately carved wooden cover, which is suspended from the roof by the figure of an angel.

The ecclesiastical parish was formed in 1878 from Holy Trinity and St. Mary Ely, Littleport, Lakenheath, and Mildenhall (Suffolk). The register of marriages dates from 1864, of baptisms from 1874.  The dead cannot be buried on The Fens, so there is no burial register.  Internments take place in Ely.
