Description
The Church of St Andrew is a Grade I listed building dating from the 13th century. It features a nave and chancel that are of equal height and span, topped with a ridged, gabled roof covered in peg tiles. The walls are constructed from coursed flints and pebbles, with freestone quoins. A western bell turret with a broach spire, which is of Victorian origin, is present, as is a Victorian porch made of timber framing.
On the south side of the nave wall, there is a red brick panel in the south-west bay that displays the rebus of Abbot Rose, who served at Waltham Abbey from 1497 to 1500. The church has three restored lancet windows on the south side, along with a Priest door designed in the Early English style and a two-light perpendicular window. The west window consists of three lights with cinque foiling in a segmental head, featuring a label and a lancet above it. To the north, there is a Victorian vestry and matching windows in the north wall.
