Description

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church that underwent significant reconstruction in 1867 by W H Knight, with internal chancel decoration completed by A Salviati in 1887. It features remnants of a 12th-century window in the south wall of the chancel, a 15th-century south arcade, and possibly 15th-century roofs for the nave and south aisle. The building is constructed from coursed and squared sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and has a stone slate roof.

The church includes a nave with a south-west tower, a south aisle, and a north porch, as well as a chancel. The nave's north wall has two 2-light windows with quatrefoils in roundels, and a similar window is located to the right of the gabled south porch. The pointed arched doorway features attached shafts and decorative capitals. The south aisle contains two 19th-century trefoil-headed lights and one re-set late 13th-century east window with a single trefoil-headed light. The south-west tower is composed of three stages and topped with an octagonal broach spire, featuring 2-light openings to the bell stage with roundels, decorative attached shafts, and a moulded label.

In the chancel, the north wall window has a pair of trefoil-headed lights, each with a trefoil in a roundel. The east window consists of three trefoil-headed lights, with three trefoils in a roundel above, and there are remains of a semi-circular headed 12th-century light in the south wall.

Inside, the nave has a trussed rafter roof that may date back to the 15th century, while the south aisle features a pent roof of three bays with moulded members, an embattled wall-plate, and curved braces supported by moulded wooden corbels. The chancel has a ceiled and decorated roof from the 19th century. The chancel walls and reredos are entirely covered in mosaic decoration by Salviati, and there are later mosaic angels in the nave from 1899. A 15th-century screen is located at the west end of the church in the organ chamber, consisting of eight single-light divisions that are closed at the lower half and open at the upper part, featuring cinquefoiled ogee-headed lights with tracery, moulded mullions, and a moulded cornice adorned with vine ornament.
