Description

Church of St Andrew is a church built between 1925 and 1926 by W C Waymouth, with J F Booth and Son acting as builders. It is constructed of brownish-red brick with blue brick diapering, ashlar dressings, and a plain tile roof with ribbed ridge tiles. The church is of an Arts and Crafts style, featuring offset buttresses, board doors with cover strips, tile kneelers, ashlar coping, and a cross finial. The windows have leaded glazing; the larger windows have Perpendicular-style tracery, while others have reverse-cusped lights. Gabled dormers to the aisles have wooden mullions, cusped heads, and half-timbered gables with barge-boards. The nave has gabled bays on either side, with a gabled transept on the south, featuring a bellcote, a hipped-roofed porch, and a 3-bay vestry with a gabled dormer and a taller chimney. The west end has a central projecting bay with paired 2-light windows below a 5-light window. The ends of the aisles are recessed, each with a door in a chamfered reveal, featuring a moulded segmental arch, a hoodmould, and a blind trefoil above. A 5-light window is located on the east.

Inside, the arcades have stone columns (more elaborate towards the chancel) and brick arches. The roof features arch-braced collared trusses with short king posts; the chancel has moulded roof timbers resting on carved corbels. Contemporary wooden features include a pulpit, organ loft, and choir stalls, alongside a stone front. The church also houses a bronze war memorial.
