St Peter’s is a Grade I-listed church set in a picturesque spot beside the River Tees, close to the historic Croft Bridge. The church was built in the 12th century, developed over the following 300 years and restored in the 19th century. Between 1843 and 1868, author Lewis Carroll's father was the rector at the church. Carroll, most famous for the book 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', is said to have taken inspiration from the carvings and artefacts in the church.
