==History== thumb|left|St. Peter's ChurchPeterston-Super-Ely thumb|River Ely near Peterston-super-Ely As its name suggests, the local parish church, now in heavily restored simple Perpendicular style, is dedicated to Saint Peter and situated close to the River Ely (). In the conservation area, the oldest structure is what remains of Peterston Castle built by the Norman lords of the manor, Le Sor family, probably in the mid-13th century and replacing an earlier structure which had been destroyed by the Welsh and again by Owain Glyndŵr in 1403. Despite being a scheduled monument, the castle remains have been progressively destroyed by housing development.
