Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church that dates from the medieval period and later. It is constructed of flint with ashlar and some brick dressings, topped with a slate roof. The building features a west tower, an aisleless nave with a south porch, and a demolished chancel. The early 14th-century tower is unbuttressed and has a restored 2-light west window in the Decorated style. The tower also includes 2-light cusped Y-traceried bell-openings and post-Medieval moulded brick corner finials. The south porch, dating from the 15th century, is notable for its chequer flushwork and blind-traceried spandrels, along with 2-light side windows. The south doorway displays dying mouldings. The south wall of the nave features 2 restored 2-light Decorated windows with mouchettes, while a 14th-century 2-light cusped Y-traceried east window has been re-set in the blocked chancel arch. The north wall mirrors the south with 2 similar windows and a plainly moulded north doorway. Inside, there is a plain tall tower arch, a polygonal Jacobean pulpit with a fluted frieze, and an octagonal font.
