Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew, dating from the 12th century and restored in 1889, is built of stone rubble and ashlar with Collyweston stone roofs. The nave features two large 19th-century Perpendicular south windows. The north aisle, added in 1889, includes trefoil clerestory windows. The early to mid-13th century chancel has a Perpendicular south window with two lights and a three-light east window. The early 16th-century south transept is adorned with battlements and Perpendicular windows. The south porch has a four-centred arch doorway. The west tower, rebuilt in 1889, consists of three storeys with angle buttresses, a Perpendicular west window on the bottom stage, and two-light bell openings with battlements at the top stage. The original spire collapsed around 1500, damaging the south arcade. The late 12th-century north arcade has four bays with double chamfered arches and circular piers featuring cruciform abacuses. There is one remaining bay of the south arcade leading to the south transept. The nave and chancel roofs from the 15th century include moulded and cambered tiebeams, arched braced collars, wind braces, and crenellated wall plates. The south transept has a depressed tiebeam roof. A piscina features a dog tooth design on the hood mould, and the base of a screen remains. The Norman font is plain and cylindrical with a moulded top on the stem. The tomb of Sir William Russell, who died in 1613, includes a recumbent effigy and kneeling figures of his three sons and three daughters. He served as vice-general in the Low Countries during Elizabeth I's reign.
