Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church dating to the late 12th century, with substantial additions and alterations in the 14th century, around 1779, and a restoration in 1868. It is constructed of green sandstone rubble with limestone ashlar, brick, and rendered dressings, and has slate roofs with stone coped gables and an eastern cross finial.

The west tower was rebuilt around 1779 and restored in the 19th century. It features a restored west doorway with a pointed head, continuously chamfered surround, plank doors, and a red brick semi-circular relieving arch. Above the doorway is a pointed window with two cusped, pointed lights and a quatrefoil. The bell stage has bell openings on three sides, each with a plain pointed head and continuous chamfered surround.

The nave and chancel date to the late 12th century. The north side of the nave displays the outline of two blocked arcade bays, with two 19th-century windows inserted, each with two pointed cusped lights and a cusped mouchette. The chancel has a single late 12th-century lancet window and a 19th-century rendered brick buttress. The east end of the chancel has a pointed 14th-century window with three pointed lights and a hood mould. The south side of the chancel features a single 12th-century lancet window. The south side of the nave has a large 14th-century rectangular window with four cusped, ogee-headed lights and a hood mould, a 12th-century buttress, and a 12th-century lancet window.

The inner tower doorway dates to around 1779, with a semi-circular head, a large fanlight containing stained glass, and leather-covered doors. The north arcade is from the late 12th century, with two bays, featuring double chamfered pointed heads, an octagonal central pier with a moulded capital, and a west respond capital with roughly carved petals and veins. The east respond is barely visible. The late 12th-century chancel arch has a double chamfered pointed head and a hood mould; its polygonal responds have moulded capitals with beaded bands. The church contains a 19th-century altar rail, pews, pulpit, and lectern. The interior features flat ceilings. A 17th-century memorial is dedicated to Thomas Kent, a poet. A late 12th-century drum font has an intersecting pointed arcade, a band decorated with broad cable patterns, and roll moulding.
