The church you are looking for is All Saints North Featherstone which was also the Parish church for Purston before St Thomas' was built  South Featherstone did not exist until the town started to expand when the mines opened   If I remember correctly  St Peter's was a small mission church  on Green Lane which was demolished years ago
