The tower of St. Peter's church in Navenby fell in c.1750 and was replaced; 'badly' according to Pevsner. The rest of the church makes up for it.

The nave is decorated with a Perpendicular clerestory.

The Decorated chancel is considered one of the finest in the region and contains a fine sedilia and easter sepulchre.

Mark Acton, 2008

The tower was rebuilt in 1797 and contains a ring of 6 bells.
