"The church of All Saints in Peatling [Magna] at first glance is an odd looking church with its chancel roof standing far higher than the nave’s shallow roof. The original roof was altered in the 14th or 15th century, the angle and line of the original can be seen on the east side of the tower. The windows on the south side also look low down; both could be related to the new nave roof and a heightening of the nave walls. The church dates from the 13th century and consists of a west tower with spire, nave and chancel."
