St Peter's is a small, early 14th century church and is packed with interest. There is a chantry chapel, hatchments, a fine monument to the Calthorpe Family (1638) by John and Mattias Christmas and one to William Whettell (1628) by Nicholas Stone.  

Ampton Hall hosted a field hospital in the First World War and those who died there are remembered by memorials in the church and in Ingham churchyard.  

Ampton has a famous son, Robert Fitzroy, who developed the barometer as a method of forecasting weather, and invited Charles Darwin to accompany him on board Beagle when he sailed round the world before writing "On the Origin of Species".
