Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church located on Station Road in Attlebridge. The nave and chancel date back to around 1300, with additions from the 15th century. It is constructed of flint, with some brick and limestone dressings, and features a smut pantile roof that extends continuously over both the nave and chancel. The church includes a slim, unbuttressed west tower, a nave, chancel, south porch, and a north aisle.
The west tower has bell openings with three-centred arched heads and a string course adorned with carved rainwater spouts on the north and south sides, below a 15th-century embattled parapet. There is a single light west window with a niche of plastered brick beneath it, and a polygonal stair turret on the north side. The south porch features a parapeted gable and a hood mould with foliage stops above the doorway. The south doorway is notable for its good head stops.
The chancel fabric from around 1300 includes a flint plinth and two lancet windows, with the western window being taller and having an inserted transom that creates a low-side window. There is a blocked priest's door situated between the lancets. The east window consists of three stepped lancets under a single arch, also with good head stops on the hood mould. The aisle features a three-light Perpendicular east window that appears to be unrestored, while the two north windows under square heads are 19th-century restorations. The north doorway has head stops, and diagonal buttresses are present at the northeast and northwest corners.
The west parapet of the aisle has been rebuilt in brick. The north arcade consists of three bays with double-chamfered arches and piers that are continuous without capitals, likely from the 14th century. The roofs were rebuilt in the 19th century. The chancel arch is formed in timber and rests on stone corbels, with a squint between the north aisle and chancel. Inside the chancel, the priest's door has been blocked to create sedilia, and there is a dropped cill sedilia and piscina in the south wall. An octagonal font dated 1866 is present, along with a priest's desk featuring ten reused turned balusters with acanthus leaf carving.
