Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a church built in 1882 by FW Hunt of London, constructed from common brick in English bond with slate roofs, designed in the Early English style. The layout features a nave and chancel combined into one tall vessel, a north-west bell turret, north and south aisles with porches at the west ends, a chapel at the east end of the north aisle, and a vestry and organ house near the east end of the south aisle.

The exterior includes buttressed aisles that are windowless. Each gabled porch has coupled square-headed doorways set in a blank arch with a patterned brick tympanum, along with brick gable copings and kneelers. The nave features a brick corbel table and short, 2-centred arched clerestory windows arranged in three pairs plus a single window at the east end, all containing two short arched lights and a roundel, with geometric leaded stained glass. The south side has a tall gabled vestry and organ house with an outshut to the east, stepped gable coping, a segmental-headed doorway, small lancet windows, and two circular windows. The west gable wall showcases two tall 2-light lancet windows with simple arched tracery, while the east gable wall has three similar windows, each with an oculus in the gable. The north-west corner features a square turret topped with a wooden-framed belfry, which has a tall pyramidal cap with simple lucarnes and a weather vane finial, while the other corners have drum pinnacles.

Inside, the church has three-bay aisle arcades consisting of wide 2-centred brick arches supported by short cylindrical columns with crocketed caps. The roof is made up of slender queen-strut trusses that extend into the chancel, which is separated from the nave by three steps and a finely carved wooden screen. The chancel includes a piscina and sedilia, carved choir stalls, and a wooden altar with carved panels.
