Wing is a village in Rutland, East Midlands (as opposed to its more famous namesake in Buckinghamshire), sited about 4.5 mi SE of Oakham. Located at the SE edge of the village, the church of St. Peter and St. Paul consists of a W tower, a nave with clerestory, N and S aisles, a chancel and a N porch. The clerestory and W tower are of c. 1400. Two major late Victorian renovations occurred in 1875, when the chancel was reconstructed, and in 1885, when the S aisle was rebuilt by George Vialls, at which time the S porch was removed and the N porch was added. Restoration of the tower occurred in 1903. Romanesque survivals include both N and S arcades, the N Nave doorway and some reset material in the chancel arch.

Though Wing is not listed in the Domesday Book, it is thought to have been one of the seven outliers of Ridlington listed under the land of King William I in 1086. Among these lands, 2 priests and 3 churches are mentioned. The manor of Wing was given by the king to Henry de Newburgh, the Earl of Warwick, who in turn sub-enfeoffed some of this land to Hugh de Montfort, a companion of William I. The land passed down through the Montfort line and in 1165, when Robert de Montfort died, he granted half of the manor and half of the church of Wing to the monks of Thorney Abbey (Cambridgeshire). This is the first mention of the church here at Wing. In 1206 the Prior of St. Neots (Huntingdonshire) sued the de Montfort family for the advowson of the church; the suit was successful and with the exception of the span from 1348 – 1411, when the Crown held it due to the wars with France, the advowson remained with St. Neots from 1217 until the dissolution of the monastery in 1539.

The Romanesque church was likely an aisleless nave and a chancel to which the S aisle, the N aisle and the N door of the nave were added in the 12^th c.

The earliest Romanesque sculpture here is in the S aisle nave arcade which, with its multi-scalloped, sheathed capitals and profuse chevron ornament in the arches, was added c. 1140-1150. The chevron ornament in bays 1 and 2 of this S arcade is similar to that found in bay 1 of the N arcade in the church of St. Peter in Allexton (Leicestershire). The N aisle nave arcade, with its more slender columns, polygonal, waterleaf capitals and plain, two step chamfered arches, was probably added c. 1180 along with the N door of the nave.

The chancel arch label stops are not original with the 13^th c. label but are reset and, based on their style, are likely 12^th c. work. The tops of these reset label stops on the S side labels, both E and W, and on the N, but W side only, have pronounced horizontal caps which suggests they may have originally been corbels. The severe weathering of the S side E label stop suggests that it may have originally been on the exterior of the church. Similar label stops with the pronounced horizontal top cap can be found at the nearby church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Preston (Rutland) and the church of St. Mary in Manton (Rutland), both of which are only two miles from Wing.
