St. Peter's Church in Inskip, Lancashire, was built in 1848, financed by the Earl of Derby and William Hornby. It's a Grade II listed building. The original church was built with squared rock-faced limestone and a slate roof, with sandstone dressings. A chancel and tower were added in 1925 by Austin and Paley.

The church's structure includes a nave, lower chancel, south porch, and a north transept with a tower to its west. Architectural features include buttresses with offsets, lancet windows with angle shafts, a wheel window, and a bellcote with a trefoiled opening and a cross finial. The tower is three stages high with diagonal buttresses and a spire that has gablets and lancet openings.

St Peter's Church has been a central part of the Inskip community since its founding. he churchyard cemetery holds numerous upright markers and a wall surrounds it. A tall cross marker in the churchyard bears an inscription commemorating the local men who lost their lives in World War I.

The area surrounding Inskip also has other historical significance, including a military radio communications center developed on the former RNAS Inskip airfield, known as "HMS Nightjar" during World War I and World War II.
