Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church with origins in the early 12th century, featuring a 13th-century chancel, a 14th-century nave and west tower, and substantial 19th and 20th-century alterations. The construction incorporates flint, pebblestones, Barnack limestone, and dressed clunch, with tiled roofs. The church is laid out with a west tower, nave, north and south aisles, a south porch, and a chancel.

The three-stage west tower has set-back buttressing of two stages. Extensive exterior restoration has occurred, including the use of Ketton stone for the south aisle windows and dressed clunch for the chancel walls. The south doorway to the chancel, however, dates to the 13th century and exhibits a double chamfered moulding.

The interior chancel arch is from the early 12th century. It is a round-headed arch of two orders, the outer order decorated with chevrons and a roll mould, each supported by shafts with scalloped capitals, carved abaci. The 13th-century chancel retains three lancet windows, two in the north wall and one in the south wall, along with two other 15th-century windows. The double piscina, situated in the south wall, also dates from the 13th century, featuring trefoil cusping to two-centred arches with colonettes and moulded capitals.

The 14th-century nave has five bays and features two-centred arches of two chamfered orders, with broach stops on octagonal columns which have moulded capitals and bases. The nave has a 19th-century roof. A 14th-century piscina with trefoil cusping is located within the north chapel. The font is 13th-century, tapering octagonally on an octagonal stem.

Within the north aisle are fragments of a Saxon cross and a Norman grave cover. A chest, constructed of oak and bound with iron and studded nails, is probably from the 15th century.
