•The church of St Peter consists of a chancel, nave, north chapel, north aisle, south aisle and west tower. The walls are of rubble with stone dressings, those of the chancel patched with brick work, and the roofs are covered with lead.
•Of the church mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086, which was probably of timber, nothing remains. About the year 1100, a stone church consisting of of a chancel and aisle-less nave was built of which the chancel arch and part of the north wall of the nave remain. Some fifty years later, the chancel was rebuilt and widened, and an arcade cut into the nave wall and a north aisle built. The following century saw the building of the south aisle and west tower and, apparently in connection with this work, the western arch of the north arcade was rebuilt. The south arcade, however, was rebuilt in the 15th century, when the clearstory was built. The chancel walls were raised and a new roof constructed in 1642, the north aisle was rebuilt in 1884-5, and the west tower in 1890. Other works were undertaken in 1912 and again in 1921. The history of the church links it strongly with Great Raveley. Robert Leman made his Will on 4 September 1719 as curate "of Upwood with Great Raveley".
“If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
