The Church of St Andrew is a parish church dating to the late 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in 1881 and 1903. It is constructed of red brick with a render finish, and has slate roofs. A single projecting stack is located on the north nave, and the eaves of the nave feature modillions forming open pediments in the east and west walls. The church has a chamfered plinth, and comprises a west porch, nave with a west cupola, a north transept, and an apsidal chancel. The wooden cupola has slatted openings, a rounded domed roof, a tall finial, and a single small orb at the top. The 1881 west porch has moulded eaves and clasping Doric pilasters with dosserets to form an open pediment in the west wall. The west wall features a single round arched lead glazing bar casement. A lean-to projects from the north wall, containing a round arched lead glazing bar cross casement in its west wall. A further lean-to projects from the first, with a doorway and plank door in its west wall. The north nave has a round arched casement with marginal lights, and the transept has wooden modillion eaves to the west and east, and moulded eaves to the north. The west wall of the transept has a single round arched fixed window divided by two transoms, while the north wall has a single round arched casement with marginal lights, above which is a small rectangular opening. The 1903 apse has overhanging eaves supported on a modillion brick cornice, and incorporates three round arched fixed windows. The south nave has two round arched casements with marginal lights. A south porch features a round arched doorway, three steps up, with double doors, a moulded architrave, a pendant keystone, and continuous imposts that terminate in single Doric pilasters supporting an entablature extending across the entire front. Inside, the barrel vaulted porch has a round chamfered arched vestry doorway with a panelled door. An archway leads to the nave, featuring a moulded architrave, pendant keystone, and imposts.
