Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church located in Felmingham, dating from the medieval period and later. It is constructed of flint, brick, and stone, with a pantile roof. The church features a massive west tower made of flint with stone dressings, a flushwork plinth, and angle buttresses. The west door is flanked by flushwork panelling, and there are stone shields on the tracery in the spandrels. The tower has a Perpendicular style three-light west window with panel tracery and three-light bell-openings.
The nave is aisleless and consists of three bays, built of brick and dated 1742, with a stone plinth and brick buttresses that have stone dressings. There are re-used 14th-century three-light windows with mouchettes under hood moulds, likely from 1742, featuring square stops. The south door, which is from the 15th century, has heads and shields on one order of moulding. The east window was added in the 19th century.
Inside, there are no architectural markings in the chancel. The tall west arch leading to the tower has polygonal shafts, but these are now obscured by the roof. The roofs of the nave and tower were destroyed by a gale in 1895 and have since been re-roofed.
