Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church that dates back to the 13th century, with remodelling in the 14th century and restoration in 1879. It features a partly rendered flint exterior with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. The church has a west tower and a continuous nave and chancel. The two-stage tower has diagonal buttresses on the west side and flat buttresses on the east, all adorned with chequered flushwork. The west side includes a two-light window with 19th-century timber Y tracery beneath a round-arched lancet, as well as square lights in the ringing chamber to the north and west. There is a projecting square stair turret at the southeast corner, and the belfry has two-light cusped and ogeed windows with pointed heads and hood moulds featuring label stops. Above the string course, the tower is topped with a crenellated parapet.

The south nave has four flat buttresses and five assorted windows, including two-light ogeed windows under square hoods with supermullions, a two-light ogeed window with a reticulation unit under a hood, and two 19th-century Y lancets in the chancel, along with one plain lancet. A low arched priest's door is present, and the east parapet features a Latin cross. The flint east wall has a triple lancet group with stiff leaf hood stops, all from 1879, as well as a hollow chamfered lancet on the north side of the chancel and a brick-repaired flat buttress. There is a two-light cusped ogeed window in the nave with a reticulation unit under a segmental arch on labels, and a two-light flat-headed window at the west beyond the porch.

The church includes a 16th-century gabled north porch that is timber framed with some brick, featuring four-centred braces over the gate with floriated spandrels. Inside, there is a tall chamfered tower arch from the 13th century and a continuous scissor-braced roof from 1879. The windows have deep sconsions and hollow chamfered rare arches, with the east window group set under a semi-circular rere arch. An arched rood stair opening is also present. The octagonal font from the 14th century has a stem and bowl decorated with blind tracery panels in the form of encircled quatrefoils, shields, and incised panels, including a six-pointed star. Additionally, painted Royal Arms of William and Mary (1689-1702) can be found under the tower, along with a roll moulded north door with a hood and a cinquefoiled holy water stoup to the left on the exterior.
