Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew, built between 1912 and 1913 by Grimshaw and Cunliffe, is a notable example of Arts and Crafts Perpendicular style architecture. Constructed from snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and featuring a banded slate roof, the church has an aisled nave that appears as a single vessel, with the roof sweeping out over the aisles. The gabled double transepts are embraced by the nave roof, and the chancel is flanked by a side chapel and a vestry, with a southeast tower.

The south end of the church features a large traceried window, which is crossed by a panel of blind arcading, and stepped bands in the gable above. To the left of the first bay is a Tudor-style porch with an exaggerated chequered parapet, while to the right is the tower, which includes a Tudor-arched doorway on the east side, a chequered first-floor band, diagonal buttresses, coupled two-light belfry openings, and simplified battlements. The aisles are adorned with three large segmental-headed windows, and the transepts have tall arched windows, both showcasing unique perpendicular tracery.

Inside, the church is finished in pink sandstone and features five-bay aisle arcades supported by slim octagonal columns, with transverse arches leading to the transepts. A carved wooden screen to the side chapel is set within an elegant arcade that has panelled spandrels. The nave boasts a wagon roof, while the chancel has a king-post roof.
