Former Church Of St Andrew

The former Church of St Andrew, now used as a parish hall, largely dates to the late 12th century, with significant alterations and additions in the 15th century, an 18th-century porch, and further internal remodelling in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of limestone, with a brick porch. It has a plain tile roof with stone coping.

The church comprises a chancel, a five-bay nave with north and south aisles, a south porch, and a two-stage west tower. The chancel has a single-light east window, and two two-light cusped windows to the south, all under square-headed hoodmoulds. The north aisle features a northeastern extension with a two-light mullioned window containing leaded quarries and a deep moulded parapet. Other windows on the north side include two with renewed Perpendicular tracery, two pointed-arched windows, one with two trefoil-headed lights, and a pointed-arched door with a replacement door. A moulded plinth and eaves course run along the north side. The south aisle has two- and three-light square-headed windows with hoodmoulds and Perpendicular tracery and a moulded plinth course with buttresses. A dentilled gable tops the brick south porch. The west end of the north aisle has a large three-light window with geometrical tracery. The west tower is embattled and decorated with corner gargoyles, offset buttresses incorporating grotesques, and moulded string courses at parapet, first-stage, and plinth levels. A projecting stair tower is located on the north side; the ringing chamber has ogee-headed openings with three louvred trefoil-headed lights. The tower also has a Perpendicular four-light west window with a deep splay and hoodmould, as well as other chamber and stair lights. A remodelled four-centred-arched south tower door is present, alongside a defaced niche in the south wall.

Inside, the transitional north arcade has round piers with stylised leaf capitals and single-chamfered arches. The Perpendicular south arcade, now blocked off, features octagonal piers and castellated capitals and originally incorporated a former south transept, encroaching on the nave and making it narrower than the chancel. A four-centre arch with a moulded surround is visible on the north wall of the chancel. The tower arch is Perpendicular in style, comprising four orders. The chancel and nave have waggon roofs. The north aisle features principal rafters, heavy-scantling chamfered purlins, tie beams, struts, a heavily-moulded ridge-beam, and purlins. The south aisle has tie-beams, struts, a heavily-moulded ridge-beam and purlins. Fittings include a crocketed niche with an angel corbel, a small piscina at the east end of the north aisle, and the royal arms above the former chancel arch (now blocked). The interior was divided in the mid-20th century to form a series of rooms on two levels, with a staircase inserted at the west end.
