Description

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church located in Southburgh, originally built in the medieval period and extensively restored and partially rebuilt in the late 19th century. It is constructed of flint with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs, along with a shingled spire. The church has a west tower, an aisleless nave with a south porch, and a chancel. The late 19th-century west tower includes angle buttresses and an ashlar-faced canted stair turret on the south side. The tower has a cusped lancet window on the west, very narrow paired lancets at an intermediate stage, and paired bell openings adorned with trefoil tracery. The crenellated parapet is decorated with flushwork, and the tower culminates in an octagonal spire.

Inside the nave, there are six re-set 14th-century windows featuring two lights each, with elaborately cusped soufflets, as well as two windows with mouchettes. A single three-light window in the south wall is designed in the Perpendicular style. The nave doorways are moulded, and the 19th-century porch is styled in a late medieval fashion, complete with lozenge flushwork, cusped Y-traceried side windows, and a moulded entrance supported by polygonal responds.

The chancel contains a Priest's door on the south side, three two-light Y-traceried windows (one with cusping) on the south, a four-light cusped Y-traceried window on the east, and two two-light Y-traceried windows on the north (one with cusping).

The interior features wave-moulded tower and chancel arches resting on carved head corbels with polygonal capitals. There is a heavily restored double piscina and sedilia with tri-lobe arches on octagonal shafts, and an aumbry located on the north side of the altar. The surviving dado of the medieval chancel screen showcases blind tracery and original paint. The church also has Victorian boarded wagon roofs and three late 18th-century wall tablets in the chancel.
