Church of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a medieval church, substantially altered in 1867-69 by G.E. Street, with the west tower rebuilt in 1884. It is constructed of flint rubble with limestone dressings and parapets, with mostly plain tiled roofs, leaded on the aisle and tower. The church comprises a nave, chancel, north aisle with an organ chamber (formerly a chapel), a west tower, a south porch, and a north vestry.

Several features within the chancel date to the late 13th century, including a Y-traceried vestry window, a window in the chancel with low-side windows, another window with plate tracery and dropped-cell sedilia, and a double piscina with a trefoiled head. The three-light east window, likely from around 1300, has inner shafts, a hoodmould, and carved foliate stops to the flanking dado. Plain nave and vestry doorways, potentially from around 1300, are also present, as is the south chancel doorway and a Y-traceried window above it. The north aisle was added in the late 14th century, and the current 19th-century two-light windows likely replicate the originals. A four-bay arcade of clustered columns with moulded capitals connects the nave and aisle, with a matching arch leading into the organ chamber.

The late 14th-century aisle roof features arch-braced tie-beams, moulded purlins with leaf-carved bosses and applied angels, and wall-pieces on figure-carved wooden corbels. The chapel roof and window, along with the roofs of the nave and chancel, are from the 15th century. The nave and chancel roofs are canted and boarded in square panels with carved bosses; the chancel panels contain painted escutcheons, and the nave panels are leaf-carved. The south porch was rebuilt in 1867 with a moulded arched doorway in the style of around 1300. In 1884 the west tower collapsed and was subsequently rebuilt in the Perpendicular style, featuring clasping buttresses, a west doorway, and crenellated parapets.

A late 14th or 15th-century octagonal limestone font is also present. The nave and aisle contain five sets of eight 15th-century pews, which are well-restored and retain original poppy-head ends with carved figures. An alabaster plaque, discovered in the north wall around 1770, is reset beside the north doorway and is believed to be from a 15th-century altar, depicting a miracle by St. Eligius. A painted late 18th-century plaque in the nave records a bequest by Mrs. Catherin Shore. Good 19th-century stained glass is found in several chancel windows, some incorporating possible medieval glass within painted borders.
