Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church with a west tower dating to the 15th and 16th centuries, and a chancel, nave, north vestry, north aisle, and north porch constructed around 1881 by E.C. Robins. The church is built of red brick, featuring some black diapering, with stone dressings to the Victorian additions. Red tile covers the roof, with ridge tiles present.

The chancel features a stone east window of three lights with a four-centred arch, a moulded label, a band beneath, and buttresses at the angles. Two windows on the south wall are similarly constructed, each with two transomed cinquefoiled lights, tracery above, four-centred arches, and a buttress between. The north vestry is gabled to the north and has two doors with a depressed ogeelight and square head between. A north window has a transomed two-light section with a quatrefoil above, a four-centred head, and a label. A staggered band extends under a lean-to north aisle, incorporating two three-light windows with square heads; the eastern windows have trefoiled ogees. The west window is of three trefoiled lights, with a segmental head and label.

The north gabled porch has a brick plinth, timber supports with tracery, a crenellated lintel, pierced bargeboards, a coloured tile floor, and a north doorway with a chamfered, four-centred head and vertically boarded door. The nave's south wall has three three-light windows with four-centred heads and labels, with buttresses between and a band below, finished with stone coping. Pierced stone ventilators are present throughout. A stone parapet features verges.

The crenellated west tower rises in three stages, with western diagonal buttresses and a south-east angle stair turret with two loop lights. Diapering appears on the plinth. The brick western doorway has splayed jambs, a two-centred arch of two moulded orders. The west window has three cinquefoiled lights, vertical tracery, a four-centred head, and a label with head stops. A chamfered, four-centred light is visible on the north wall of the second stage. Each wall of the bell chamber has a two-light window with a square head and moulded label.

The interior, which was not inspected during re-survey, reportedly contains a 12th-century shaft of Barnack stone with a scalloped capital used as a credence table. The font is 15th century, with an octagonal bowl featuring quatrefoiled sides enclosing shields and foliage, carved flowers to its moulded soffit, and a stem with traceried panels. There are two bells: the first, dating to around 1400, was made by Robert Burford and is inscribed "Sce Michael" and "Sancta Katerina Ora Pro Nobis." The second, likely from around 1500 and made by Thomas Bullisdon, is inscribed "Sancta Edwarde Ora Pro Nobis" and "Pray for Vyllam Brooke and Agnes his Wyff." The tower arch is two-centred and consists of three chamfered orders dying onto plain responds.
