"Iniciadas no último quartel do século XVIII, as obras da igreja de S. Pedro do Toural estiveram interrompidas entre 1824 e 1880. O frontão triangular da fachada foi concluído em 1884, ano em que se colocou no seu vértice a cruz pontifical (a tiara papal que aparece no brasão abaixo da cruz fora incrustado no ano anterior). A torre foi erguida no final do século XIX e ficou, para a eternidade, sem o seu par. Nas quatro faces torre, foram abertos os óculos para o relógio, que tardaria em ser lá colocado. Em 1915 chegou a haver uma subscrição pública para a sua aquisição. Porém, em 1928, continuava a faltar, sendo grande a falta que fazia, uma vez que o relógio municipal estava a distância significativa, na Praça da Oliveira. Ainda tardaria mais dez anos até que, por iniciativa municipal, fosse instalado o relógio-carrilhão da torre de S. Pedro, com os seus quatro mostradores."

"Begun in the last quarter of the eighteenth century, the works of the church of S. Peter's Toural were interrupted between 1824 and 1880. The triangular pediment of the facade was completed in 1884, the year he stood in his pontifical cross vertex (the papal tiara that appears on the coat below the cross was embedded in the previous year). The tower was erected in the late nineteenth century and was, for eternity, without your partner. In the four-sided tower, the glasses were open at the clock, which take long to be placed there. In 1915 came to be a public subscription for its acquisition. However, in 1928, still lacking, and that was great lack, since the local clock was significant distance, the square of Oliveira. Still be long until another ten years, for municipal initiative, was installed the clock-tower carillon S. Peter, with its four dials."
