Description
The Church of St Andrew is a Grade II* parish church located on Church Lane in Eaton. It dates back to the 13th century, with a 15th-century tower. The church is constructed of knapped flint, featuring flushwork on the tower with Caen stone dressings, and has a thatched roof. The nave and chancel are combined into one space, and there is a west tower along with a 13th-century north porch. A 20th-century flat-roofed vestry is attached to the south.
The church has six lancet windows in the nave and chancel, with the east window displaying intersecting tracery. The tower is four stages high and includes diagonal buttresses, a perpendicular west window, and two-light belfry windows. It is topped with a crenellated parapet and pinnacles.
Inside, there is a lofty tower arch, a blocked rood screen door, a piscina, and a 19th-century scissor-braced wagon roof supported by ashlar posts. The chancel contains a 17th-century Communion table and a grave slab of John Scamler, who died around 1688. A medieval font, which has been heavily restored, was brought from Sandingham Church in 1896.
