The tower, of which the lower parts contain pre-[[Norman conquest of England|Conquest]] masonry, may stand on the site of an earlier chancel, but was extended outwards and upwards in the 12th&nbsp;century. During the following century the [[chancel]] and south [[transept]] were added. The south [[aisle]] was added in the 14th&nbsp;century, and the north porch in the early 16th&nbsp;century.<ref name=hg/> In 1819 the Albury Park estate was bought by [[Henry Drummond (1786–1860)|Henry Drummond]], a London banker. During the following year the spire on the tower was replaced by a [[cupola]] (a small dome). Drummond became involved with the foundation of the [[Catholic Apostolic Church]] in the 1830s, and built a church for this religious movement on his estate. The residents of Albury village had been coming to worship at their [[parish church]] in the estate, and Drummond proposed to close this church and to build a new Anglican church nearer the centre of the village.<ref name=histold/> Building of both the new churches began in 1839.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://www.alburychurches.org/tour.html| title = St Peter and St Paul, parish church of Albury| accessdate = 18&nbsp;March 2011| publisher = The Parish of Albury, Surrey}}</ref> Drummond then commissioned [[Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin|A.&nbsp;W.&nbsp;N.&nbsp;Pugin]] to convert the south transept of the old church into a [[Morgue|mortuary chapel]].<ref name=histold>{{Citation | url = http://www.alburychurches.org/saxon.html | title = The Saxon Church of St Peter and St Paul| accessdate = 18&nbsp;March 2011| publisher = The Parish of Albury, Surrey}}</ref> ==Architecture== ===Exterior=== The plan of the church consists of a nave and chancel separated by a centrally-placed tower. The nave has a south aisle and there is a south transept projecting from the tower. There is a north porch towards the west of the nave.<ref name=vch/> The tower is in three stages with a [[battlement]]ed [[parapet]], and a small north window. In the chancel is an east window dating from the late 13th&nbsp;century, and a [[lancet window]] in the south wall. The transept has two two-light windows in its east wall, and a five-light south window. At the west end of the church are two [[gable]]s, an arched window, and a round window. The porch is gabled and has a [[bargeboard]] pierced with [[quatrefoil]]s, rosettes and [[tracery]].<ref name=hg/> The church is constructed in [[ironstone]] and [[sandstone]] [[rubble]]. The dressings are in [[Bargate stone]] and [[clunch]].<ref name=vch>{{citation |url= http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42932#s4 |title= Parishes: Albury — Churches|accessdate= 18&nbsp;March 2011|editor1-last= Malden|editor1-first= H.
