Description
The Church of St Andrew is a church of 1870, designed by Joseph Lattimore. It is constructed from brick with blue brick diapering and ashlar dressings, and has a slate roof. The church comprises a single-vessel nave and chancel with an apse, with a vestry projecting east from the north transept, and a south porch. It incorporates details in the 13th century style.
The exterior features a blue-brick-coped plinth and cornices, with coped gables and kneelers. The apse has a canted end with a corbelled gable over a two-light plate tracery window with a banded arch and sexfoil, with flanking windows of two trefoil-headed lights. The four-bay nave has offset buttresses flanking windows of three single-chamfered trefoil-headed lights. A bellcote to the east end has a splayed base to a diagonally-set open stage with a slate fleche and large finial; the roof has triangular louvred dormers. The north side includes a gabled organ loft linked to the vestry, which has a north window matching the nave and a straight-headed window to the south. The south side has a basement area and a date stone to the right of the gabled porch, which has two small, possibly altered, lights and a left return entrance with a shaped lintel and plank door. The west end has a four-light plate tracery window with a banded Florentine arch and iron finial.
The interior contains a simple hammer-beam roof with king posts. The chancel arch is Florentine, resting on corbelled black shafts with rich carving. A small window to the north of the apse has a sill between carved stops and a gable with angel corbels, crockets, and a fleuron, adjacent to an arch to the organ loft. Timber fittings include a reredos, a brass altar rail on scroll supports, choir stalls enclosed by low screens with pierced quatrefoils, and cusped arches to the doors. The timber pulpit has a canted front with Moorish style lattice work panels and a vine-trail cornice. The 1872 font has a plain bowl on a hexagonal base with three twined fish forming the shaft. Stained glass includes 19th-century glass in the apse, featuring a head of Christ and a figure of St Cecilia to the north of the apse, and one 20th-century window to the north side of the nave.
