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.
