Description
The Church of St Andrew is a Grade I listed parish church located on Great Snoring Road in Little Snoring. The church features a detached tower and has a nave built in the Norman style, with later additions, and an Early English chancel. The structure is made of flint with carstone, and has stone and brick dressings, topped with black glazed pantiled roofs.
The south wall of the nave includes a Norman window, a two-light Decorated window, and a single lancet window with a drip mould. There is a Perpendicular south porch, and the south door is Norman, featuring colonnettes with capitals, a round arch, and a stilted arch hood-mould. Between the door and the porch is a zig-zag moulding that was rearranged in the 13th century into a narrow Gothic arch. The west gable of the nave has carstone quoins from the 12th century and a two-light Decorated window. The north side of the nave has a late Norman door that is blocked, a three-light Perpendicular window, and a two-light Decorated window with switch tracery. The nave's gables, part of the north wall, kneelers, parapets, and dentil cornice date from the late 18th century.
The chancel consists of two bays with north and south walls, each featuring two two-light straight-headed Perpendicular windows. The east window has three Early English lancets with internal shafts. Inside, there is an Early English chancel arch and an angle piscina. The Norman font is made of stone and has bases with attached colonnettes, as well as a circular bowl decorated with floral interlace. A bench-end is inscribed with "HB 1632." The church also contains a late 18th-century single deck pulpit with a reading desk and the Royal Arms of James II from 1686. The nave roof, dating from the late 18th century, has exposed rafters, while the chancel roof was boarded in the mid-19th century.
