Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church dating back to the 14th century, with additions and alterations spanning the 15th to 18th centuries and a restoration in 1898. It is constructed of fieldstone with flint and clunch dressings, largely replaced with Ketton limestone. The roof is slate. The church consists of a three-stage west tower, an aisleless nave, and a chancel.

The west tower is embattled with set-back buttressing. It has an early 14th-century and later bell stage. The restored west window features two cinquefoil lights with dagger tracery within a two-centred head, and single trefoil lights to the first stage. There are two openings to the bell stage, each with a trefoil head within a two-centred arch. The nave is 14th century, with a later clerestory. Originally featuring clunch windows, these have been replaced with Ketton limestone and reticulated tracery within two-centred arches. A 14th to 15th-century south porch has a two-centred outer arch of two chamfered orders, the inner order on half-octagonal columns. The inner arch is of two continuous moulded orders. Above the arch is an 18th-century stuccoed raised and fielded panel bearing text painted in black lettering.

The chancel was rebuilt in the 15th century and its fenestration and roof were restored in 1898. An 18th-century north vestry adjoins the chancel. A north doorway to the nave has a two-centred arch of two chamfered orders, with a raised and fielded 18th-century panelled door. Inside, the west tower arch is two-centred with two hollow moulded orders and three shaft responds, similar to those at Balsham church. The nave roof is medieval, featuring moulded tie beams and bracing with later boarding. The chancel arch is two-centred and composed of two orders, the outer hollow moulded and the inner chamfered on half-octagonal columns. A niche with a foiled head is located north of the chancel, and a piscina is situated in the north wall. A similar niche south of the chancel arch is now partially obscured. A rood loft was inserted in the 15th century. In 1737, Sir John Jacob restored the church, including plaster panelling to the chancel in two heights, with raised and fielded panels to the lower stage and sunk panels with moulded quadrants to the upper stage. A double piscina is located in the south wall. Part of an 18th-century pulpit remains on a wooden base, and an iron chancel screen was installed in 1922.
