St Peter

The church is Grade I Listed, and dates back to 1130 and there is evidence of earlier inhabitation in the form of a carving of a Roman fertility god and an Anglo Saxon stone carved cross dating back to approximately the 9th century. It was extended with the addition of aisles and a chancel in the and the tower in 1399. In the chancel there is a very fine 14th century stone sedilia with stepped seats for the priest, deacon, and sub-deacon. The three 3 bells date back to 1699.

The Clervaux Chapel dates from 1330 and holds the table tomb of Richard Clervaux. In the north aisle is the 17th century tomb of Sir Mark Milbank. A descendant of his, Arabella Milbank, married Lord Byron in 1825.

The raised Milbank box family pew dates from the 19th century. Lewis Carroll's father was rector from 1843to 1868 and his tombstone can be found in the grounds. Lewis Carroll spent much of his childhood in Croft and an effigy on the sedilia is claimed to be Lewis Carroll’s inspiration for the Cheshire cat. There is a memorial in the church to the Canadian Air Force airmen who flew Lancaster bombers out of Croft airfield in the Second World War.
