Description

The Church of St. Andrew is a parish church featuring a 14th-century tower, nave, and north aisle, with later Perpendicular architectural details added. It is constructed from quaternary and quarry flint, with Lincolnshire limestone dressings and a slated roof. The building includes an unbuttressed west tower, which has a single west lancet window with broken trefoil tracery, and a rectangular opening for the belfry chamber on the east, north, and west faces. The south side features a two-light Decorated window with a clock below it, and the tower is topped with a flush work battlemented parapet.

The nave has three two-light Decorated windows with tracery heads on the south side, and the south porch is in the Perpendicular style with a hood moulded arch that has been recut, along with angle buttresses and a blocked two-light Perpendicular window on the east. The east window consists of three lights with reticulated tracery, and the former chancel south priest's door has been re-erected in the nave's east wall. The north chancel wall remains, and the north aisle features a Perpendicular straight-headed three-light east window, two straight-headed two-light windows on the north, and a two-light Y-tracery west window dating from around 1300, along with a blocked north door from the same period.

Inside, the church has a four-bay north arcade supported by Perpendicular octagonal piers and double hollow chamfered arches. The furnishings, originally made by James Burroughs for Corpus Christi College Cambridge chapel in 1742, were re-erected here after 1824 by the Rev. Henry William Blake, MA, a former Fellow. The interior includes a three-decker pulpit with a sounding board, three-sided communion rails with gates, a moulded plinth and shelf, turned balusters, and sanctuary panelling. The north aisle is filled with box pews, while the nave has open benches and boxes at the rear. The nave's east wall features two notable mid-18th-century wall monuments, one to the north with rococo details signed by E. Holl from 1766, and a monument on the south wall signed by W. Tyler from 1750. There is a six-part Gothick tower door from around 1820, early 19th-century roofs for the nave and aisle, and a late 19th-century stone font with a wooden cover.
