Description
The Church of St Andrew is a Grade I listed parish church featuring a west tower, nave, chancel, north aisle, transept, and south porch. It is constructed of flint with stone dressings and has a slated roof. The west tower consists of multiple stages and is supported by diagonally set buttresses. It has a Perpendicular style west window and four decorated bell windows, along with a parapet that retains three pinnacles.
The south porch leads to the nave, which has a south wall containing one two-light and one straight-headed Perpendicular window, with two additional two-light Perpendicular clerestory windows above. The nave has two further bays that lack a clerestory, featuring two large three-light straight-headed Perpendicular windows. The chancel east window, dating from the 17th century, is also three-light and straight-headed. The north aisle includes a blocked door, one two-light Early English window, and one three-light window. The north transept is supported by diagonally set and right-angle corner buttresses and features a three-light Perpendicular window with a niche above.
Inside, the church has a four and a half bay nave with the north aisle and transept branching off. The Perpendicular tower arch is set on corbels, and there is a three-bay Perpendicular north arcade with double hollow chamfered arches. The nave roof consists of four bays with 15th-century wall posts, arched wall plates, and arched braces, including an extra half bay over the site of the rood screen. There is a filled-in stair arch to the north, and a 17th-century painted text is located opposite the south door. The north aisle and north transept feature a 15th-century half pitched arched braced roof. The nave and aisle contain 16th-century poppyhead benches, one of which is dated (possibly later) 1544. The church also has a Perpendicular font and a deep holy water stoup by the south door. Additionally, there is a three-light north aisle window from 1892 and a chancel south window from 1895 by A L Moore, as well as a chancel east window dating to around 1850.
