Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a church built around 1867 by Medland Taylor, with a baptistry added in the 20th century. It is constructed from snecked rock-faced sandstone rubble with freestone dressings and features slate roofs with fishscale bands, all in the Gothic style. The layout includes a nave, a south-west steeple topped with a broach spire, north and south aisles, a chancel with a polygonal apse, a south chapel, and a north vestry.

The exterior showcases a three-stage tower with set-back buttresses. It has a two-centred arched west doorway with a cusped intrados and a red sandstone extrados, along with a recessed door. The second stage features a clock face, while the belfry stage has chamfered corners and two-centred arched two-light belfry windows. The broach spire includes lucarnes on the cardinal sides. The west gable of the nave is supported by angle-buttresses and features a large two-centred arched four-light west window, which has quirkily cusped lights on one side and a quatrefoil at the top with unusual scrolled cusping. Below this is a rectangular flat-roofed 20th-century baptistry with segmental-pointed windows that include one, two, and one traceried lights, topped with a coped parapet.

The nave has two tall gabled half-dormers on each side, each with two lights and differing multifoils in the heads. The broad aisles are of full height and buttressed; the four-bay north aisle has two-light windows that alternate between cusped and uncusped designs, while the three-bay south aisle features similar windows with two, three, and two lights, the center window having cusped lights. The north vestry has coupled gables, and the south chapel has one gable facing south and two facing east, all with two-light windows that have simple tracery. The apse contains three double-chamfered three-light windows, all with cusped lights and trefoils in the heads, except for the center window, which is blind. The church forms a group with St Andrew's School to the south.
