Church of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew, built between 1868 and 1870 by James Brooks, is a former church now used as offices. It features a bold Early English Gothic style, constructed from squared coursed Kentish ragstone with asphalt dressings and topped with red tiled roofs. The church has a lofty clerestoreyed nave with four and a half bays, and lean-to north and south aisles that project from a south porch, which includes original wrought iron gates. An unfinished central tower is located over the crossing, and there is a cabled transept to the south. The heavily pinnacled north chapel is supported by flying buttresses, while the short full-height eastern apse is notable. The clerestory is adorned with lancet windows, and the west end is buttressed with a central gabled double entrance door, featuring a statue of St Andrew on the central pillar between the doors. The interior is faced with ragstone and includes pointed arcades supported by circular columns with foliated capitals. The clerestory has stilted arcading with windows set in alternative arches. The interior has been subdivided for office use, with a floor inserted above the arcade, while the roof of the apse is visible upstairs, although the rest of the roof is encased.
