Parish church

The Church of England parish church of Saint Peter was built in the Norman style about 1200.[2] The Perpendicular Gothic bell tower was added later.[2] The chancel was rebuilt in 1872 and the Gothic Revival architect Edwin Dolby restored the church and added the south porch in 1879.[2]

Twinning

Since 2000 Drayton has been twinned with Lesparre-Médoc, a commune in the French département of Gironde.[3]
