Description
The Parish Church of St Andrew, a Church of England building, was constructed in 1881 by architect Alfred Waterhouse for T F Buxton of Easneye and became the parish church in 1882. The church is built with uncoursed knapped flint, white stone dressings, and features red tiled gabled roofs. Inside, it is finished in red brick. The church has a cruciform plan, highlighted by a large square southwest tower that also serves as the porch. It includes angle buttresses and gable parapets adorned with crosses, and is designed in the Perpendicular style. The layout comprises a chancel, a three-bay nave with a hammer beam roof, transepts, a northeast vestry, a southwestern porch, and a three-stage embattled tower that houses a clock and four bells, which were donated in 1905. The seating capacity is designed for 375 people, as noted in Kelly's directory from 1914. Additionally, there is a semi-octagonal stair projection on the west side of the tower.
