Description
The Church of St Andrew is a chapel that likely dates from the 12th century, with alterations made in the 17th century, and restorations occurring in 1823 and the late 20th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble, mostly rendered, and features a tile roof. The chancel and nave are combined, with a west porch. The chancel includes a small semi-circular headed window on each wall, while the east window is from the 19th century and has Y-tracery beneath a segmental pointed head. The nave contains two 2-light casements, likely from the 17th century, located in the south wall, and one in the north wall. There are two large lean-to buttresses, with the one on the west bearing the inscription: "I WINNALL/ CHAPEL WARDEN/ 1823". A break in the wall to the west of the buttress may suggest a western extension. The west door, which may have been re-set, is from the 12th century and features a wooden porch with a distorted semi-circular head of two orders. The upper part of the west wall showcases a timber-frame roof truss with two collars and multiple struts, supporting an octagonal bell cote from the 17th century.
Inside, there is a piscina in the south wall of the chancel with a shouldered head and square drain. The roof is from the 14th century and includes some curved wind-braces over the two tiers of purlins in the chancel, while the nave has some cusped wind-braces. The roof underwent significant alteration in the 17th century with the addition of tie-beam trusses with collars. The fittings include a pulpit with five sides featuring 17th-century arcaded panels within a 19th-century frame. The altar rail is made up of 17th-century turned balusters and a moulded handrail. The reredos consists of re-set 17th-century panelling that was installed in 1894. There are nine pews at the west end of the nave, which have shaped bench ends, likely from the 17th century.
