Description
The Ruined Church of St Andrew is a structure from 1768, attributed to Atkinson for Archbishop Drummond. It features pinkish-orange brick with a facade of magnesian limestone ashlar in a Gothick style. The remaining elements include the west wall, foundations of the nave, transepts, and chancel walls, as well as the traceried head of one window. The west end has full-height angle buttresses with offsets topped by crocketed pinnacles. The central doorway is Tudor-arched and badly weathered, set under a hood-mould with quatrefoils in the spandrels. Flanking the doorway are ogee-headed niches with head stops, decorated with crockets and finials. The left niche contains a fluted columnar pedestal with a capital and traces of Gothick decoration in the flutes. On the first floor, there is a 3-light pointed window under a hood-mould with head stops and little remaining tracery. Above this is a bell turret, which is crocketed to the left and has a cross at its apex.
