Notes:

The Subdeanery Church. Before the construction of the church, the parish was served from an altar in the Cathedral, and, presumably, since the Subdeanery Church's closure.

The church of ST. PETER THE GREAT or SUBDEANERY, in West Street, was begun in 1850 in the 14th-century style, and was consecrated in 1852. It is built of stone with a tiled roof, and consists of a nave of four bays with aisles and a chancel of two bays; the vestry is at the east end of the north aisle, the porch and entrance is an addition at the west end of the south aisle. The fittings are modern, except the font, which appears to be of the 15th century and was probably removed from the cathedral. The church was designed by Mr. Richard Carpenter, consulting architect of the cathedral.
The plate consists of a silver chalice with hallmark for 1849; a like chalice with hall-mark for 1870 and inscribed Charlotte Gruggen D.D., 1871.
