Description
The Church of St Andrew is a flint and stone church with origins dating back to the 14th century, though it was largely renewed during the 19th century restoration. The west tower, made of red brick, was constructed in 1742 to replace an earlier tower from the 13th to 14th centuries, of which the nave arch still exists. Inside the church, there is a hexagonal font from the 13th century.
