(the former) St Peter, Farrington
The former church of St Peter, Farrington, is at the northern end of the parish, and 2 miles north- west of the parish church, of Iwerne Courtney.
It was extensively rebuilt in 1856 and was again restored in 1899. It is a rectangular building of Greensand, with rough ashlar walls and finer ashlar dressings, roofed with stone-slates and tiles. The walls have chamfered double plinths. Weathered diagonal buttresses stand at the corners and a square-set buttress in the middle of each side.
The western gable culminates in a (now empty) stone bell-cote dated 1839, but nothing remains identifiable of the mediaeval building. The church had a 12th century font, described by Pevsner as a “fluted shallow circular bowl on a short stem of the same diameter as the bowl”.
The small chapel is now redundant and has been deconsecrated, and is privately owned.
