Description

The Church of St Andrew is a Grade II* listed building that dates from the 12th to 14th centuries and was restored in 1863 by E Christian. It is constructed from blue lias stone. The church features a west tower, nave, chancel, and a small south transept that were added in the 18th century. The tower, built in the mid to late 14th century, is three stages high with diagonal buttresses leading up to the bell stage. It has two-light cinquefoil cusped bell openings, a renewed Perpendicular style west window, original crocketted openings on the second stage, small stair lights, and a rebuilt parapet with pinnacles.

The nave has a stone-tiled roof and includes three early English lancets and a pointed arched door on the south side, along with two lancets, an arched door, and a small square window on the north side. Inside, there is a moulded tower arch and a 15th-century arch braced collar roof. The south transept is rendered and features small stone-framed leaded lights. The chancel, mostly from 1863, has a steep plain tile roof and includes a three-light east window with a quatrefoil head, two cusped trefoil head windows, and two two-light windows with quatrefoil heads. The south door is plain and chamfered with a hoodmould.

The church contains a 14th-century font on an older base, some 13th-century bench ends, and fragments of 15th-century glass in the north window. There is a wall monument in the chancel to T Bushell, who died in 1713. The east window and one south window of the chancel date from around 1870, one north window of the chancel is from around 1856, and one window in the nave is early 20th century, signed by B Warren.
