Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is an Anglican church built between 1827 and 1830 by Thomas Lee for the Church Commissioners. It features a facing of Gornal stone ashlar on a brick structure and has a slate roof. The church is designed in the Gothic style and has a galleried nave with a small apse and a west tower. A vestry was added to the east end in 1938.

The exterior includes a seven-bay nave with a parapet, buttresses, and tall pointed arch windows with hoodmoulds. There is a pointed arch doorway with a label below the west window on both the north and south sides. The four-stage west tower has angle-buttresses with set-offs and tall pinnacles, an embattled parapet, large bell-openings with Perpendicular tracery, clock faces with labels above, and pointed arches for the west window and doorway. The gabled apse at the east end features a pointed arch window with later Perpendicular tracery, along with a low ashlar vestry from 1938.

Inside, the church is ceiled and has galleries on three sides supported by thin iron columns. It retains original plain box-pews, although the rest of the interior was Gothicised later in the 19th century. Notable furnishings include late 19th-century choir stalls, an alabaster reredos from 1883, a wrought-iron screen from 1892, an alabaster pulpit from 1903, a font from 1879, a brass eagle lectern from 1897, and an organ from 1835 made by T H Harrison of Rochdale.
