Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church dating back to the mid-12th century, with extensions added in the late 12th century, and further additions from the 13th and 14th centuries. It was restored in 1889. The church is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a concrete tile roof. The design includes a mid-12th century nave, a late 12th century west tower, a 13th century north aisle and chancel.

The west tower has four stages. The upper stage has an offset likely dating to the 15th century and features a moulded cornice below a crenellated parapet. Each stage has a semicircular-headed window, except the first stage which has an ogee head. The nave's south wall is supported by two large 19th-century buttresses. It has three bays and a south door at the west end with a semicircular arch of two square orders; the inner order has incised zig-zag ornament, while the outer order has imposts bearing carved monsters. A 19th-century timber-framed porch sits in front of the doorway. To the east of the porch are two windows: a 12th-century semicircular-headed window and a 13th-century window of two trefoiled lights. The north aisle has two windows - a pointed lancet to the west and a window of two trefoiled lights to the east. A blocked north door with a semicircular arch and square jambs sits between them. The chancel has two bays, with windows in the south wall each of two trefoiled lights and a blocked priest’s door. The north wall has windows each of one trefoiled light. The east window has three lights, the outer ones pointed, the center light with a triangular head, all under a two-centred head.

Inside, the tower arch is semicircular and springs from moulded impost blocks. The north arcade of the late 12th century has three bays; the western arch is distorted. The western pier is octagonal with a square chamfered impost and base. The eastern pier is cylindrical with a moulded base and abacus, and a square capital cut back at the angles. The roof of the nave is of 14th-century common-rafter type with straight braces to the collars and slightly raking ashlar pieces. The chancel roof is of 19th-century common rafter type. The lean-to roof of the north aisle is 14th century, with wall posts rising from corbels. A stone pulpit, dated 1664 with the initials IR and RI cut on the octagonal bowl which stands on a round stem, is present. Reused 17th-century panelling of three tiers is set on the east wall of the chancel; the panels of the top tier display geometrical designs. The east window contains figures of six saints by Powell, dated 1871.
