Hepworth St Peter’s church The tower was shortened in 1677 and given a tiled pyramidal cap and dormer widow. The church suffered a fire in 1898 when some of the original material and the thatched roof were lost. A 19th c. iron strapping wraps itself around the buttresses holding the structure together; this is an ongoing problem despite the tower being truncated. The font is modern and plain but the cover is intricate to the extreme: alas, it is not what it used to be, clumsy restoration having marred its fine detail, but its charm and attraction remain. At 12½ feet tall it is 2/3 as tall as the one at Ufford. Some old simple benches remain which were rescued from the fire. A set of hand-bells donated to the church in 1920 hang in the tower arch. The church is always kept locked, but the Rector’s address is posted.
