The site of Saint Peter's was given by Richard Benjon De Beauvoir who built and endowed the church in memory of Peter De Beauvoir, the last sinecure rector of Hackney District, from whom he derived the estate. The church was consecrated in 1841 by the Bishop of London. The building is of stock brick with stone dressings in Middle Gothic style. It seated 1000, and was designed by W.C. Lockner and built between 1840 and 1841. Additions were made in 1884.
