Medieval church whose dedication is shared between Peter and Eurgain, the latter being inferred from the Welsh place-name, Llaneurgain, a form of which is attested in 1254. Eurgain's feast day also coincides with that of Peter, on 29 June, which may have caused the connection/confusion between the two saints.
