Description

The Church of St Andrew and attached former Sunday school, located on Goldsmith Street in Nottingham, was built in 1869 and designed by Robert Evans of Nottingham. Mid-20th century additions and alterations have also occurred. The church is constructed of rockfaced stone with ashlar dressings, featuring slate roofing with coped gables and bands of lias limestone. It is built in the Gothic Revival style.

The main church unit comprises a single rectangular space with semicircular transepts and prominent porches and stair towers at the west end. The Sunday school adjoins it to the east. The exterior features a plinth and pointed arched windows with hood moulds. The east end incorporates a traceried round window, with two two-light windows on each side. The west front, facing the street, has five arcaded windows flanked by straight buttresses, above which sits a four-light traceried window and a round window. The transepts have three single-light windows each. A square two-storey porch with a pyramidal roof and angle buttresses is located to the south-west, featuring a pointed arched double door to the west and a two-light window to the north. A gable porch, also two storeys, stands to the north-west. A pointed arched double door with shafts and a two-light window are present on the north side, with a single-light stair window on the right return. External corridors with quatrefoil coping are situated in the return angles of the porches. The Sunday school, two storeys high with a basement, showcases two two-light windows with quatrefoil heads at its north end.

The interior is rendered and largely original. It contains a single space with a crossing flanked by transepts, a rear gallery, and an entrance lobby flanked by a stair tower and baptistry. The main space is barrel vaulted, with match board panelling and wooden ribs. The transepts are spanned by double pointed wooden arches with traceried spandrels, and include wooden half-domes with ribs. A panelled wooden screen, pulpit, organ case and reading desk, all dating to 1869, are positioned at the front. A stained glass round window was added in 1870. At the rear, a wooden gallery rests on cast-iron columns with crocket capitals, and is defined by a traceried wrought-iron crest. Below the gallery are doorways flanked by windows, all with pointed arches, and doors with stained glass panels on each side. The crossing features round columns with crocket capitals, flanked by pointed arched doorways at the front. Pointed arched doors lead to east, and shouldered doors lead to the north and south via internal porches. The entrance lobby has pointed arched doors at each end, and three stained glass windows dating from around 1920. The stairwells are notable for their stone cantilever stairs with elaborate cast-iron balusters. The baptistry, to the south, contains an octagonal panelled font with shafts, installed in 1893. Original curved benches are found throughout the church. There are no memorials recorded.
