Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church, now disused, dating to 1846. It is constructed of stock brick with ashlar dressings and has slate roofs with coped gables. Single ridge crosses are positioned on the east nave and east chancel. A raised eaves band with dentil decoration runs along the nave, accompanied by pilaster buttresses. A continuous sill band is present on all but the west nave and vestry. The church comprises a nave with a west bellcote, a chancel, and a south vestry. The gabled bellcote is supported on four decorative corbels, and its arched bell opening is framed by colonnettes with scalloped capitals. The west wall features a doorway set into a shallow lean-to. Two pairs of colonnettes with scalloped capitals support arches decorated in a chevron design, topped by a hood mould with grotesque head label stops. Above the doorway, a single window with three arched lights is set within an arched recess, with a chamfered ashlar band, the centre light being taller and flanked by colonnettes with scalloped capitals, all having chevron moulded architraves, a hood mould and grotesque label stops. The north nave has two arched windows with chevron moulded architraves. The east chancel window contains three arched lights, with the central light the tallest. The east vestry has a single arched light. The south nave wall mirrors the north nave in design. Inside, a moulded chancel arch is supported on a pair of responds with decorated capitals. Arched shallow niches flank the arch, each with responds and scalloped capitals. A similar arch connects the rear of the pulpit to the vestry. A decorative C19 circular ashlar font is also within the church. The chancel floor is tiled. A brass plaque to Richard Johnson, dated 1607, is located in the east nave. Low altar rails are present, with small columns supporting arches of cable, dogtooth and chevron designs, and an ashlar rail. A doorway connects the south chancel to the vestry.
