Description

The Church of St Andrew is a church that was rebuilt in 1863, incorporating materials from the 12th and 13th centuries, mainly in the tower, by architect S Pountney Smith. It is constructed of rusticated ashlar with ashlar dressings and features a chamfered plinth. The roof is made of plain tiles, hipped over the vestry and pyramid-shaped over the tower, with fish-tail pattern tiles on the porch and an ashlar-coped gable to the chancel.

The church has a chancel with a south vestry, a nave with a south porch, and a west tower. The exterior of the chancel includes an east window with three stepped lancets in the Early English style, while the north wall has two lancets. The south wall features a lancet to the right and a canted projecting vestry with four lancets on its faces. The nave's north and south walls each have a range of three opposing lancets in the Early English style. The east ends of the nave each have a two-light window with a roundel vesica, a hoodmould, and a small gable. The arched south doorway is covered by a gabled porch.

The tower is a three-stage stepped structure with a chamfered capped plinth. It has lancets on the west and south faces at the lower stage, along with stair window slits and a door on the north side. The middle stage features chamfered slit windows on the north and south faces, while the bell-stage has two lancets on each face. The tower is topped with a moulded cornice and a clock face under a small gable on the west side.

Inside, the chancel has a two-bay roof supported by three arched braced collar trusses, twin purlins, and intermediate principals, all featuring moulding and opposing curved windbraces. The nave has a four-bay roof with five arched braced collar trusses and a single purlin. The pointed chancel arch is in a transitional style, supported by large colonnettes, while the tower arch has smaller colonnettes. The church contains stained glass by Kempe, along with reset glass from the 13th or 14th century, and a carved pulpit dated 1639.
