Description
The Church of St Andrew is a 14th-century structure located in Roudham, built from flint with ashlar dressings. The church features a ruined north-west tower, nave, and chancel. The west tower consists of three stages and is supported by diagonal buttresses above the porch. The outer porch has arched roll chamfer mouldings with an external hood mould on the head stops. Inside, there is a well-crafted inner arch with convex and roll chamfers, lacking capitals. The second stage of the tower includes a window embrasure, and the belfry has two-light windows that show remnants of mouchette and Y tracery. Below the flushwork battlements, there is a hollow chamfer string course. The nave has a large west window featuring Y tracery, along with various ruinous window openings in both the nave and chancel. The chancel is continuous with the nave and has an empty east window opening. A priest's door is located in the south wall of the chancel, featuring an arched outer opening with continuous wave mouldings and a stilted rere-arch. Additionally, a wrought iron screen from the 18th century survives west of the tower. The church is scheduled as an Ancient Monument.
