Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church dating to around 1300. It was extensively restored in 1886 and again around 1914 after falling into disrepair during the 17th century. The church is constructed of ironstone rubble with ashlar dressings, some brick with rendering, and has slate roofs. The building includes a squat west tower of around 1300, a nave and chancel under a single roof, a north vestry and a north aisle.
The west tower has a triple chamfered pointed arch and polygonal jambs with moulded imposts. The interior of the porch features flanking stone benches and a triple chamfered pointed doorway with polygonal joists, plain capitals, moulded imposts and 19th-century plank doors. Large buttresses rise up to the bell chamber level on the north and south sides of the tower. The bell chamber openings are plain pointed lights on three sides, with a damaged light to the west, a triangular head to the north, and a pointed head to the south.
The north vestry, built in 1914, has a lean-to roof and a narrow door with a wooden lintel and plank door. A two-light mullion window with leaded lights is located to the east. A gravestone is set into the wall below the window. A chimney is situated in the south-east corner.
The east end was rebuilt around 1914 with a large pointed window. Embedded in the north wall is a polygonal pier with a plain moulded capital, necking, base and abacus scored with two grooves. A remnant of a columnar arcade pier with a necking and plain capital is also embedded in the south wall. The south aisle has a four-stage buttress. Four large, pointed blocked arches of the original south arcade are visible. Large pointed windows with tracery from around 1914 are set in the alternate arches, flanked by fragmentary moulded and grooved abaci of original arcade capitals embedded within the wall. Partially visible chamfered arches of the south arcade remain, along with a small, low buttress. Interior features include a deep-set vestry door with a segmental head and plank doors, 19th-century plank wainscotting, pews, a lectern, and a 20th-century octagonal font.
