Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church that dates from the late 13th century, with additions from the 15th century, 1794, and the late 19th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and limestone ashlar, topped with slate roofs featuring decorative red ridge tiles and stone coped gables. The church includes a west tower, a nave, and a rectangular chancel with a north vestry.
The west tower, built in the 18th century, has two stages and features a plinth. Its doorway has a pointed head with broad chamfered jambs, a hood mould, label stops, and plank doors. A plaque below the first floor flat string course is inscribed with "W. Bassett, Vicar I White Clerk W. Child." Above the doorway is a large oculus, and there are narrow round-headed lights on the north and south sides at the bell stage level. The north side of the nave has two large, broad round-headed windows. The late 19th-century north vestry has a large chimney on the northwest side and a three-light mullion rectangular window on the north side, along with an east doorway that has a flat head, chamfered surround, and a plank door.
The east end of the chancel features a large pointed late 19th-century window with four pointed and cusped lights with tracery, while the south wall of the chancel has a single round-headed window. To the west, there are remains of a 15th-century rectangular window with two blocked, barely pointed lights. The south wall of the nave also has two large, broad round-headed lights.
Inside, the late 13th-century chancel arch has polygonal responds and a triple chamfered pointed head with a hood mould; the north side has a 19th-century label stop head, while the south side retains a 13th-century label stop head. There is a 19th-century organ arch with a flattened pointed arch and chamfered sides, and a doorway to the vestry to the east with a shallow segmental head and plank door. The church features a 17th-century altar rail and a large ornate ashlar monument to Nicholas Sutton, who died in 1602, which includes an inscription and coat of arms above. The church is furnished with 20th-century pews, a pulpit, a lectern, and a font, and there is a large metal horn above the west door.
