Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church dating from 1856, designed by G. E. Street. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with plain tiled roofs, stone coped gables, and cross finials. A gabled west bellcote features two pointed openings, each containing a bell, along with gablet kneelers and a weathervane. The church comprises a nave with a west bellcote, a south porch, and an apsidal chancel with a north vestry.
The west front has a plain splayed plinth and two chamfered string courses, topped by an oculus with plate tracery featuring quatrefoils and trefoils set under a pointed relieving arch. The north side of the nave has three pairs of cusped lancets and a continuous sill band. The vestry has a tall chimney and a pointed doorway with a continuous moulded surround and plank door. To the north, it is gabled with a splayed plinth and two chamfered string courses, containing a pointed window with cusping and a trefoil above. The chancel's east window is pointed, with three cusped lights and three plate cusped oculi above, under a hood mould, with a gable imposed above the apse. The south side of the chancel has a single pointed window with three trefoil-headed lights, the central one being taller. The south side of the nave has two pairs of cusped lancets, again with a sill band.
The gabled porch has a south doorway with a pointed head, chamfered surround, slender shafts as responds, and a hood mould. Within, a pointed chamfered head and broad chamfered responds break into the head, leading to a plank door.
Inside, the pointed chancel arch features a chamfered inner order and a chevroned outer order, with semi-circular responds and large crocket capitals. A semi-circular stone pulpit is accessed by a flight of three stone steps, featuring a tall pedestal and a single Purbeck marble shaft supporting a book rest. The vestry doorway has a continuous chamfered surround and a plank door. South-side sedilia feature a segmental head, cusping, responds, and label stops. The church also contains a 19th-century communion rail, choir stalls, pews, and an octagonal font. A monument to Mary Alice Walls, who died in 1877, is fashioned from coloured marble mosaic with gilded diaper work, depicting a young woman in white robes with flowing red hair.
