Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church largely dating to the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries, with a late Saxon tower and nave west wall. It is constructed of squared stone with roofs of stone slate, Welsh slate, and lead. The church includes a west tower, nave, south aisle, south porch, north vestry, south chapel, and chancel.

The tower's ground floor has 18th-century lancet windows on the south and west sides, with the heads of earlier windows visible above. Small original windows are located on the first floor, and two-light openings with baluster mullions are on the second floor. A 12th-century window sits above the openings, topped by a renewed parapet.

The three-bay nave features a renewed porch and lancet windows on the south side. The north side contains a vestry, a two-light 16th-century window with segmental heads to the lights, and a large Victorian Geometric window.

The south chapel has a single south window incorporating Y-tracery, a 12th-century east window, and a 14th-century vesica above it. The chancel has a Y-tracery window on the south side, and on the north side, a similar window and a pair of lancets.

Inside, the tower reveals deeply splayed heads to the Saxon ground-floor windows. The tower arch, possibly from the 12th century, is unmoulded, with plain responds; the east side is apparently carved in situ with colonettes and foliage capitals. A circa 1200 south arcade features quatrefoil keeled piers and stepped round arches. The chancel arch has round triple responds with cushion capitals carved with faces at the corners on the north side. The arch has two rolls and an outer billet moulding. Remnants of the former apse arch, removed when the chancel was lengthened in the 13th century, include round responds with cushion capitals, and reset voussoirs with saltire crosses in the wall above. There is a 14th-century sedilia with octagonal shafts and a 14th-century piscina. The south chapel contains a trefoiled niche and a low-relief carving of a shield and inscription on the north wall. The Early 13th-century south door has colonettes and two rows of dogtooth detailing.

Monuments include a 14th-century effigy of a knight in the south chapel, likely representing Robert de Reynes of Shortflatt. A 1770 monument to John Horsley in the chancel is a standing structure with a vermiculate rusticated base and a swan-neck pediment displaying a coat of arms. Three medieval grave covers are in the south chapel; fragments are incorporated into the south porch, along with a fragment of a hogback. An octagonal medieval font is also present.
