Description
The Church of Saint Andrew is a parish church that dates back to the 13th century. It features blocked arcades, an arch on the south side of the chancel, and a former tower arch that were incorporated during the rebuilding in 1889-90 by R H Fowler. The lower sections of the church are constructed from re-used medieval ironstone ashlar, with limestone ashlar dressings, blocking, and upper sections of walling.
The church has a three-bay nave with a west belcote, a south porch, and a single-bay chancel with a vestry adjoining the south side. Architectural details include buttresses, a chamfered plinth, and a cillband. The windows are pointed, with two-light designs and three-light east and west windows featuring reticulated tracery. There is a blocked pointed chamfered former tower arch in the west wall. The stepped bellcote has a pointed arch with a pinnacled ogee hood, flanked by pinnacled buttress-shafts, and a coped top with a short octagonal ashlar spire surmounted by a weathercock. The porch has pointed moulded outer and inner arches.
Inside, there are fragments of 14th-century inscribed grave slabs incorporated into the walls, and the north chancel wall contains a 13th-century grave slab inscribed with a cross and sword. The interior also features blocked three-bay north and south arcades with pointed double-chamfered arches. The north arcade has octagonal piers, while the later south arcade has single cylindrical and filleted quatrefoil piers with octagonal responds, all with plain moulded capitals and bases. There is a pointed chamfered blocked former tower arch with mutilated chamfered imposts, and a 19th-century shafted pointed chancel arch. A wide pointed double-chamfered arch leads to the south side of the chancel on octagonal responds with moulded capitals. Two 14th-century carved stone coffins are re-set in the east and west vestry walls. The font has a plain medieval octagonal bowl set on a 19th-century base, and there is a restored 17th-century carved oak panelled pulpit.
