Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church built in 1831 by William Ramshaw. It was refenestrated in 1874, and a south porch and vestry were added in 1904. The church is constructed of squared sandstone with dressings, incorporating some possibly medieval masonry in the lower courses, and features graduated green slate roofs. It has an aisleless nave with a former porch, now used for storage, at the west end and a 1904 porch on the south side. The church includes a chancel and a north vestry at the junction of the nave and chancel. The original Romanesque-style windows from 1831 were mainly replaced by lancets in 1874.

The nave has three bays with a chamfered plinth and flat-buttress bay divisions. The south doorway, located in the porch, is three-centred and flanked by re-set carved medieval fragments depicting The Fall and God triumphing over Satan. A small stoup is re-set near the east jamb of the doorway. The nave features mainly paired lancets under hoodmoulds, along with a round-arched window from 1831 in the east bay on the south side. The roof has overhanging eaves supported by large stone corbels, and there is a large gabled bellcote at the west end above a blocked round-arched window. The chancel is lower and narrower with similar window and roof details, including a pointed three-light east window. The gabled west end porch has a blocked round-arched doorway, while the gabled south porch features a pointed doorway with two chamfered orders and lancets on the returns. The gabled vestry has a pointed doorway on the east and paired lancets on the north.

Inside, the church is plain and plastered, with a chamfered semicircular chancel arch and a similar smaller arch at the west end of the nave. There is a 19th-century stone font with an octagonal bowl and memorial stained glass from around 1890 to 1900 by Hemmings of London. The nave roof consists of seven braced king-post trusses with a flat ceiling above the collars.
