Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church built in 1866 and 1882 by Thomas Jekyll. It features knapped flint, brick, and ashlar with a tiled roof, designed in the Early English style. The church includes a south-west porch tower added in 1882, while the nave and apsidal chancel date from 1866. The tower is three stages high with angle buttresses on the first stage. It has an arched entrance set within a tall pointed arched recess, flanked by columns with scalloped capitals. There is a two-light window and a cusped oculus in the arch head, with the upper storeys defined by set-offs. The belfry has two-light plate tracery windows and annulated columns at the corners. The eaves cornice is corbelled, leading to a low pyramid roof. The rest of the church features two-light plate traceried windows and engaged buttresses, along with a gabled south porch in the nave. Inside, the church retains funerary monuments from the original building.
