Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church located on Church Road in Deopham. It was built in imitation of St Andrew's Hingham, beginning in the late 14th century and completed at the west end in the early 16th century. The church is constructed of flint with stone and some brick dressings, featuring leaded roofs for the nave and a plain tiled roof for the chancel.

The building includes a western tower, an aisled nave with five bays, a chancel, and a south porch. The western tower has four stages and is adorned with set-back diagonally connecting angle buttresses that terminate in hexagonal crenellated turrets, decorated with chequered flushwork. The first stage features a vine-scroll frieze on three sides above the level of the west door, along with a single west three-light Perpendicular window. There are blind three-light Perpendicular windows at the third stage, and the bell-openings are two-light with curvilinear tracery and crocketted gables above, featuring flushwork wheel tracery that rises above the crenellated and flushworked parapet.

The aisle and chancel side windows are two-light in the Decorated style with cusped soufflets, while the east aisle windows are three-light Perpendicular, and the chancel east window is a restored five-light Perpendicular window. The clearstorey windows are simple two-light designs. Inside, the south arcade is supported by octagonal piers with facetted bell capitals, while the later north arcade has lozenge-shaped piers. Both arcades feature two-centred arches of two plain chamfered orders. The late medieval shallow-pitched roof has roll-moulded cambered ties and arched braces with traceried spandrels. The chancel arch is of two orders on head corbels, and the aisle roofs are partly original with roll-moulded cornices. There are fine piscinae at the aisle altars and the main altar, and the chancel has a 19th-century hammer-beam roof.
