Description
The Church of St Andrew and St Peter 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 plaintile and pantile roofs. The building features a west tower, an aisleless nave with a south porch, and a chancel with a vestry to the north. The truncated west tower, likely from the 15th century, includes diagonal buttresses and a canted stair projection on the south side. The west window is a restored three-light Perpendicular style window with an embattled transom. The bell stage has been partially rebuilt and includes one plain arched bell opening to the east, along with a crenellated parapet dressed in gault brick.
The nave is extensively buttressed and has five three-light Perpendicular windows, each with embattled transoms. The south doorway is wave moulded, while the north doorway is hollow chamfered. The porch features a re-set 15th-century entrance arch with blind traceried spandrels. The chancel is modern, with brick dressings and a moulded brick cornice. Inside, there are two re-used two-light late-medieval south windows and a modern three-light east window in Perpendicular style. The tower arch is wave moulded and rests on polygonal responds, while the chancel arch is plain chamfered, also on polygonal responds. A surviving rood stair is located to the south, and there is a medieval chancel screen with carved tracery and some traces of original paint. A modern polygonal font is also present.
