Description

The Church of St Andrew is a Grade II* listed building, primarily dating from the early 14th and 15th centuries, with some remnants of pre-Conquest work. It underwent significant restoration in 1874 and was severely damaged by fire in 1963, which destroyed the 15th-century hammer-beam roof of the nave.

The church comprises a nave, chancel, south aisle, west tower, and a 19th-century south porch. The tall, unbuttressed west tower features two-light bell-openings with Y-tracery and an embattled parapet adorned with chequer flushwork. Inside, there is a four-bay south arcade supported by octagonal piers and double hollow-chamfered arches. The chancel arch was lost in the fire, but a fragment of wall painting remains in a niche on the north wall. The south aisle contains a piscina, and there is a 15th-century octagonal font decorated with angels on the sides of the bowl and four lions on the stem. Additionally, the church has a square lectern foot from the 15th century, featuring angle leaves.

The building is constructed of flint with stone dressings and has a new black glazed pantile roof.
