Description

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church featuring a Norman round tower and west end, with Perpendicular details in the nave and chancel, and Decorated north and south transepts. The church has a late 19th-century south porch and is constructed of flint with stone dressings, topped by a slated roof. The tower has a carstone base and quoins at the north-west corner of the nave. It includes a Perpendicular west door, round-headed lancets, and an octagonal belfry stage from around 1300, which features switch tracery belfry windows and 2-light Decorated windows. Inside, there is a Norman tower arch.

The nave consists of three bays and has two north and two south 3-light windows. There are blocked and partially cut down 2-light Perpendicular windows in the east nave bay, indicating a removed clerestory. The south transept has two straight-headed east and west windows, along with a south 3-light reticulated Decorated window. The north transept features two 2-light Decorated east windows and a 3-light Decorated north window with quatrefoils.

The chancel contains two 3-light Decorated windows on the north and south sides, and a recut Perpendicular east window, with a filled-in Perpendicular north window and a Perpendicular south priest's door. The interior showcases Perpendicular arches for the north and south transepts and chancel. The south transept includes two arched recesses in the south wall and a piscina in the east wall. There is a memorial screen from 1914-1918 in the arch. The chancel features a south window sedilia, a piscina, and a north aumbry recess. The roof displays a mix of Renaissance and late Gothic details, crafted in plaster by Comper in 1912. The chancel also contains a Comper alabaster and gilt reredos, and the north side has two superimposed sections of a 16th-century Renaissance wall tomb, with the upper part coloured. The glass throughout the church dates from 1868-1875 and is in an archaic style reminiscent of the 1840s.
