Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period and underwent significant restoration between 1865 and 1866. It features a nave, chancel, north and south aisles, a west tower, a south porch, and a north vestry. The building is constructed of flint rubble with stone dressings, and the nave has a slated roof, while the other roofs are covered in lead and copper. The round tower, possibly from the 12th century, has a 14th-century belfry stage with four cinquefoil-headed openings and matching flushwork panels, topped with a flat parapet. The nave is likely from the 14th century, with a 15th-century four-bay clerestorey and three-bay aisles, although many of the aisle windows have been renewed. The 15th-century knapped flint porch features panelled flushwork on the facade and plinth, a moulded entrance arch with spandrels carved with angels bearing shields, and a canopied niche above the entrance that contains a 19th-century figure. The original porch roof remains intact. The nave doorway is also moulded and dates from the 15th century, while the chancel, from the 14th century, has seen much renewal in the 19th century.

Inside, the church has three-bay aisle arcades. The restoration work from 1865 to 1866 included a new arched-braced nave roof supported by stone corbels depicting prophets at the base of the wall posts, substantial renewal of the aisle and chancel roofs, and the addition of new poppyhead benches and matching stalls. There are two 14th-century piscinas, with the one in the sanctuary being significantly restored. Cusped niches are present on either side of the chancel arch. In the south aisle, there is a shaft and the lower half of the bowl of a 15th-century font, which features panelled decoration.
