Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church dating from the medieval period with later additions. It is constructed primarily of flint, with ashlar and some brick dressings, and has slate and lead roofs. The church comprises a south-west tower porch, an aisled nave, and a chancel.

The 14th-century tower porch features diagonal buttresses and a rectangular stair turret to the north-west. It has a massive, plain, chamfered 2-centred entrance on polygonal responds, with a doorway of filletted rolls on two pairs of nook shafts, and an elaborately cusped niche above. A rectangular loop is situated on the upper floor’s south side. The tower has plain 2-light Y-traceried bell-openings, a corbel table, a crenellated parapet, and a broken octagonal clockface to the east with metal hands. The west wall has a restored 3-light window to the nave with triple lancet tracery, and a pair of restored panel-traceried 2-light windows to the aisles.

The north aisle has a 14th-century doorway of two orders with angle rolls and a hood mould. It also has two 15th-century 3-light panel-traceried windows with shallow 4-centred heads and a 2-light Perpendicular east window featuring an unusual inverted cross tracery motif. A similar tracery style is present in the south aisle. There are seven 2-light cusped clearstorey windows. The 13th or early 14th-century chancel has four 2-light Y-traceried windows, a blocked rectangular leper's window to the south, and a plain priest's doorway. A modern 5-light east window has been added in Geometric style.

The interior features four bays of early 14th-century quatrefoil piers supporting hollow-chamfered arches of two orders; the piers reveal the angles of their square cores. A hollow-chamfered chancel arch sits on polygonal responds. A surviving rood stair is located to the south. The south aisle contains a plain rectangular piscina. The 15th-century moulded aisle roofs have embattled wall plates and spandrel tracery. The 15th-century arch-braced nave roof has excessively tall embattled wall plates retaining some original paint. The chancel has a fine piscina with triple sedilia beneath a hollow-chamfered arcade on single shafts with bell capitals, protected by a hood mould with restored label stops. An elaborate aumbry is set into the north side of the chancel, featuring a crocketted ogee arch between crocketted pinnacles. The windows have hood moulds with carved head label stops. A 14th-century octagonal font is also present.
