Description

The Church of St Andrew is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period, with restoration work completed around 1880. It features a nave, chancel, west tower, and south porch. The nave is mainly constructed of plastered flint rubble, while the chancel has a 19th-century flint facing, and both are accented with freestone dressings. The tower, made of flint rubble, includes extensive crude dressings of pink and buff brick, which is an unusual feature for its early 15th-century date. Originally, the tower would have been entirely plastered, except for the belfry windows that showcase ashlar Y-tracery. The tower also has simple splayed two-centred doorways and windows. The nave roof is slated, while the chancel and porch have concrete plain tiled roofs.

The south porch, built in the early 16th century, is made of red brick and features crowstepping, polygonal buttresses, and a moulded and labelled doorway with three image niches above. Inside, the porch has moulded rafters and an arch-braced ridge-piece. The church contains various two-light windows in the nave and chancel, ranging from the 14th to early 16th centuries, most of which were restored in the 19th century, though one window retains 14th-century grotesque corbel stones. The south doorway, dating from the mid-14th century, is also moulded. The roof over the nave and chancel, dating to around 1500, features moulded tie-beams with heavy knee-braces and coupled rafters, with a moulded crownpost above the chancel that is likely a 19th-century addition. Additionally, there is a notable 13th-century piscina with angle shafts, foliate capitals, and a cusped trefoiled head, as well as a panelled 18th-century pulpit supported by turned clustered legs.
