St Andrews Church

St. Andrew's Church is a parish church dating from the 14th century, with restoration completed in 1870. The church features a nave, chancel, south porch, and north vestry, constructed from flint rubble that is plastered, with stone dressings and thatched roofs on the nave and chancel. The nave has two 2-light windows on both the north and south sides, all of which have been renewed, along with a 3-light west window that showcases intersecting tracery. The porch is simple and has a shallow gable.

The chancel includes two largely original 2-light windows on the north and south sides, the southern windows adorned with finely carved label stops, and a 3-light east window with reticulated tracery. There is also a Priest's doorway on the south side. Inside, the nave has a five-bay roof, originally designed as crown post construction, though only the two western trusses remain intact.

An octagonal font, heavily restored in the 19th century, is present, along with a remarkable rood screen from around 1500. This screen features four one-light divisions on each side of the central arch, with a vaulted coved loft to the east and west and a dado that retains five painted figures, showcasing much of the original colour and gesso work. A wall painting in a recess on the north nave wall depicts a large cross alongside what appear to be long-eared rabbits. The nave also displays four hatchments belonging to the Rabett family of Bramfield Hall, along with heavily restored 14th-century piscinas in both the nave and chancel.

An elaborate reredos, dated 1867, features four figures of saints in canopied niches on either side of the altar and includes a sedile on the south side. The north chancel contains a fine monument to Arthur Coke, who died in 1627, and his wife Elizabeth, who died in 1629, crafted by Nicholas Stone. This monument is made of white and black marble and features a reclining effigy of Elizabeth with Arthur kneeling in prayer above, all within an arched recess that is adorned with a coat of arms and seven surrounding cartouches. The south chancel has a wall monument to Reginald Rabett, who died in 1763, and his wife. The chancel floor is laid with ledger slabs from the late 17th and 18th centuries, primarily commemorating members of the Rabett family. The church is listed as Grade I for its surviving medieval work and the Coke monument.
