Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church that dates back to the 12th century, featuring a nave from that time, a chancel from the 13th century, and a west tower. The church underwent restoration in the late 19th century, during which an organ chamber and a south porch were added. It is constructed from sandstone rubble with dressings of the same material and has a 20th-century tiled roof. The layout includes a west tower, a nave with a south porch, and a chancel with a north organ chamber.
The west tower consists of three stages topped by a pyramidal roof. It has single restored lancet windows on the south and west sides, along with square-headed loop vents in the bell stage—two on the south and one on the west. The nave features 19th-century traceried windows flanking the south porch, which has a 12th-century south doorway with moulded jambs, a shouldered lintel with a roll moulding, a semicircular-headed arch, and a plain tympanum. There are also two 19th-century two-light windows on the north side. The chancel includes a 19th-century trefoil-headed light with a label on the south side, to the right of a blocked doorway with a two-centred arched head and chamfered jambs, as well as a three-light east window from the 19th century.
Inside, the nave features a late 14th-century roof with eight bays, arch-braced collar-beam trusses, moulded wall plates, and two and a half tiers of cusped wind braces. The chancel has a three-bay 17th-century roof with open arch-braced collar-beam trusses. There is a plain semicircular-headed tower arch, and notably, there is no chancel arch. Among the fittings is a 12th-century font with a circular tapering bowl set on a later base.
