Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church dating from the 14th century and later. It is constructed of flint with ashlar dressings and has slate roofs. The building features a west tower, an aisleless nave with a north porch, and a chancel. The unbuttressed three-stage tower has Y-traceried bell-openings and a crenellated parapet with flushwork. There are six two-light traceried nave windows in the Decorated style, which have been heavily restored, while the chancel windows are Victorian. Inside, there is a restored late medieval chancel screen and some fine 15th-century carved pew-ends. A medieval wall painting on the west wall depicts two seated women gossiping, flanked by devils. The nave roof is likely from the 17th century, featuring alternating arch-braced ties and arch-braced principal rafters, with carved semicircular vegetal motifs on the wall plate. The chancel roof and west gallery are Victorian.
