Description
The detached tower of the Church of St. Andrew dates from the 11th to 12th centuries and is located in Little Snoring. It features a west round tower and the gable of a nave that has since been demolished. The structure is built from quaternary flint and chert, with carrstone and Lincolnshire limestone dressings, and was formerly rendered. The tower includes four trefoil lancets that have been inserted into the original round-headed unmoulded splayed windows, and there is a triangular-headed doorway in the nave gable. To the east, the former nave doorway is a single-step carrstone arch set on quoins. The outline of the former nave's west gable is buttressed and gabled against the east face of the tower. The building features brick eaves from around 1900 and a tiled conical roof topped with four small gabled dormers and lead finials.
