St Peter's was formerly the parish church of Hockwold, before that village joined with neighbouring Wilton to form Hockwold cum Wilton. The nave and the tower date from the mid-14th century. A chancel was added in the 15th century. The church underwent restoration in 1857.[1] Up until the 17th century, the parishes of St Peter, Hockwold, and St James, Wilton were separate but from 1666 they shared a rector and services alternated between the two churches. Eventually, St Peter's became redundant. In 1959 the church was designated a Grade I listed building by English Heritage. The Grade I listing is for buildings "of exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important". It is now cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.
