St. Peter's Church at the heart of Drayton Bassett is built of local sandstone in Gothic style with nave, chancel and 15th century tower. The Church is part of the Peel Parishes, including churches at Fazeley, Mile Oak and Canwell.
In 1327, a Ralph Lord Bassett was licenced by King Edward III to discharge a debt in land in Nether Whitaker, in the county of Warwickshire, by building a Chantry (an endowed Chapel). Evidence suggests that this Chantry was built on the site of St. John's Chantry, dedicated to John the Baptist; now the Church of St. Peter's, Drayton Bassett.
