The church of St Peter with St James is one of three medieval parish churches in the city of Nottingham. The original church was a wooden one built around 1100 but work on the current church began around 1180 after the wooden church was destroyed in a fire. Much of the surviving church however, dates from the 15th century.
The church has a nave with two aisles and clerestory. The church has a three bay chancel and a north transept. The west tower has a spire.
