Church of St. Andrew

The Church of St. Andrew is a substantial parish church that features some Norman work but is primarily from the 13th century. It has a west tower with a spire, a nave with a clerestory, aisles, and a chancel, all constructed from coursed rubble. The tower and spire date to the late 13th century and consist of three stages, with lancet openings and paired plate-traceried lights in the bell chamber. The parapet is adorned with gargoyles, and the spire is squat and recessed, featuring lucarnes. The south aisle is made of well-coursed rubble and includes a string course and parapet, with late 13th-century traceried windows that have hood moulds and corbel heads. The south porch, possibly from the 14th century, is gabled and has a niche above the door with a finial cross. The south doorway is Norman, originally with shafts, of which only the capitals remain, featuring scalloped and reeded designs, along with a billet motif and chevrons on the outer arch. The clerestory is in the Perpendicular style, with paired traceried lights and an embattled parapet. The plain round-arched north doorway is blocked. The chancel was rebuilt in 1892 according to designs by John Thomas Lee, featuring a high string course, lancets, decorated style windows, and a restored Perpendicular east window.

Inside, the western tower arch is supported by shafts with fillet moulding, nailhead decoration, and a triple chamfer, dating to the late 13th century. The nave arcade consists of four bays with double chamfered early 13th-century arches on circular piers, some of which have waterleaf capitals, while one pair of piers is made up of clustered shafts. The 19th-century roof has main trusses supported by corbelled arch braces and features traceried struts. The Victorian chancel arch and chancel (from 1892) include sedilia wall tiles, an ornate organ, and a gilded roof. The reredos is by Egan, and there are three painted panels in the south aisle by Alfred Hemmings. Egan and Hemmings also created the stained glass in the 1890s. In the south aisle, there is a monument featuring a coped coffin with the head, shoulders, and feet of a figure visible. The font, possibly from the 12th century, is low and square with chamfered corners on a solid square base.
