DERBY ST PETER in the city of Derby, Derbyshire, dates from the 11th century. The Chantry and south aisle were added in 1338. There was significant rebuilding in the decorated style in about 1350 and five light windows survive in the north and south aisles from that period. In 1509 the steeply-pitched roof was lowered, the walls over the nave arcades were raised clerestory windows added. The chancel arch was widened, the east end was shortened by a bay and a new east window was installed. The tower was also rebuilt at the same time.
In the late 1700's galleries wre added to the nave and in 1852 the chancel was restored.. Old roof timbers were exposed when plaster was removed and a few years later chancel and aisles were again restored. In 1865 the south porch was removed. The west end of the church and the tower were entirely rebuilt in 1898.
