St Peter’s is a Grade I-listed church on the outskirts of Soberton village. The church is Norman in origin but most of what you see today dates to the 13th century. The west tower was added in the 16th century. Outside the south transept, there is a stone sarcophagus which is thought to be Roman.

A Roman coffin unearthed in 1880 and now on display outside of the church. Check out the engravings in the top of the coffin as they suggest this coffin was for a wealthy person.
