Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church built in 1759, with additions made in 1887. It features red brick construction with ashlar dressings and squared greenstone rubble, topped with slate and lead roofs. The church includes a western tower, a nave, a facetted chancel, a south porch, and a vestry. The 18th-century three-stage brick tower has a greenstone plinth, plain bands, and dentillated eaves, capped by a shaped lead roof. The tower and nave windows are semi-circular headed, set in stone surrounds with key and impost blocks. The west wall has single windows at both ground and belfry levels. The north nave wall features two windows, a greenstone plinth, and a dentillated eaves course. The chancel and vestry, added in 1887, have matching moulded brick semi-circular headed openings. The vestry includes a door and a narrow window on the north side, along with another window on the east. The canted chancel has a moulded brick eaves course, a string course, and single windows on each of its three sides, plus two additional windows on the south side. The south wall of the nave mirrors the north wall but has three windows. The gabled south porch, adjacent to the tower, features semi-circular headed inner and outer doorways with continuously moulded brick reveals. Inside, there is a semi-circular tower arch. The chancel arch is also semi-circular, made of moulded brick with rolls at the angles of the two orders, and is supported by paired ashlar shafts with fluted bases and cushion capitals. A similar archway with fluted imposts is found in the north wall of the chancel. The chancel windows have rear arches of moulded brick with rolled angles and facets. All interior fittings date from the 19th century, including an octagonal font.
