Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church that features a nave built in 1794, as indicated by a datestone on the south wall, and a chancel completed in 1820, marked by another datestone with the initials C.H.W. The tower dates back to the 13th century. The church is constructed from flint with ashlar and some brick dressings, and it incorporates much re-used ashlar in the nave. The roofs are made of pantiles and slate.
The west tower is truncated, and the church has an aisleless nave with north and south porches, along with a chancel. Only the lowest stage of the unbuttressed west tower remains. The west window is a restored cusped 2-light window, with a small blocked lancet below it. The nave features six 2-light windows with shallow heads and cusping, likely re-used from the late medieval period. The eaves have a brick corbel table with three headers. The chancel is the same width as the nave and has a 4-light Y-traceried east window.
Inside, there is a 15th-century tower arch resting on semicircular responds. A wall tablet on a gadrooned mount displays the painted arms of Roger Lestrange, who died in 1706. The church also contains a 14th-century octagonal font, which features quatrefoils on the stem and bowl panels adorned with flowers set in tracery. The church has group value with Hoe Hall.
