Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church located in Guist, built in medieval times with later additions. It features a flint construction with ashlar dressings and plaintile roofs. The church has a western tower, a nave with a north aisle and a south porch, and a chancel. The unbuttressed tower, likely from the 16th century, includes a canted stair turret on the south side. The west window has been restored and features 2-light Y-tracery, while the tower has quatrefoil sound holes and plain 2-light bell-openings with 4-centred heads, topped by a parapet. The nave contains a 2-light and a 3-light panel traceried late Perpendicular window with flat heads on the south side. The north aisle, added in 1889, has five trefoil lancets. The south door, dating from the 13th century, is plain and chamfered with a hood mould. The chancel was constructed in 1881 by H. Green of Norwich, and the porch was added in 1907.
Inside, there is a Perpendicular tower arch with three plain chamfered orders on semi-circular responds. The north arcade, built in 1889, is in Early English style and features columns with ovolo-moulded arches. The chancel contains notable 18th and 19th-century wall tablets dedicated to the Norris and Wigget families, along with two windows featuring Victorian stained glass.
