Freston St Peter’s church When looking for Freston church, ignore the tower on the horizon; Freston Tower is a Tudor folly six stories high. The church tower is half the height. In the churchyard, you cannot help but notice the peace or war memorial which is a beautiful figure of Peace carved from solid oak. The church has been over-restored and nothing of any great interest remains. The tower is 14th c. and the nave and chancel are under one single barn-type roof separated only by a great carved beam.
