The Church of St Peter and St Paul is the Church of England parish church in Market Overton, Rutland. The church is part of the Oakham team ministry.[2] It is a Grade I listed building.
The church primarily dates from the late 13th and early 14th century[3] though it does have a tower arch dating from the Anglo-Saxon era, the "only worthwhile piece of Anglo-Saxon architecture in the County".
The tower was added in the 13th century but the top section was added the following century and it was also raised.[4]
There is an Early English[5] column capital inverted to make a base for the Norman bowl, on the font.[4]
A coffin the size of an infant is on the north side of the tower arch and was probably made for an Anglo-Saxon family.[4] On the east wall of the chancel, is a monument to Henry Tymperon. There is also a monument to Thomas Cox, a former rector.[4]
The sundial on the south face of the tower is said to have been donated by Sir Isaac Newton.[5] His mother, Harriet Ayscough, lived in the village.[4]
