Church of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period and was restored in 1890. It features a nave, chancel, west tower, and south porch. The building is constructed of random flint rubble, with the nave and chancel plastered, and a knapped flint tower adorned with stone dressings and a plaintiled roof.

The late 14th century tower has three-stage diagonal buttresses on the west face and a crenellated parapet. It includes flushwork on the plinth and buttresses, a three-light west window, and two-light openings in the bell chamber. The nave contains various late 14th or 15th century two-light windows, some of which are located at clerestory level and are irregularly spaced. There is a blocked arch in the northeast nave that once led to a former chapel, with a trefoil-headed piscina to the left. A blocked doorway is also present on the north side of the nave. The simple porch is made of knapped flint and features some flushwork at the base.

The chancel, likely from the 15th century, has one broad lancet window in brick on the south side, a renewed two-light window, and a Priest's doorway. On the north side, there is a two-light square-headed window and a renewed three-light east window in Perpendicular style. The original north and south doors to the nave remain intact.

Inside, the 19th century nave roof has six bays with arch-braced collars, an embattled wallplate, and a carved cornice that is probably reused from the original roof. The chancel roof, from the 15th century, has four bays with a moulded and crenellated wallplate. The church features a 15th century octagonal font with a carved bowl and an early 18th century cover. The pulpit includes early 17th century panelling, while the rood screen has some early 17th century panels in the dado, with the rest being a late 19th century reconstruction. There are four 15th century poppyhead benches in the chancel and 17th century altar rails.

Notable interior elements include the Royal Arms of Anne below the tower arch, accompanied by two painted Commandment boards from the same period at the east end of the chancel. An incomplete effigy brass commemorates Arthur Pennyng (1593) and his two wives, located in the northeast chancel. The church is graded I for its medieval fabric and fittings.
