Church of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a neo-Early English style church dating to 1872-75, with a chancel built in 1872 and a north aisle added in 1875. It was extensively restored and enlarged by G.E. Street. The church is constructed of flint with stone dressings, and has plain tiled roofs.

The building comprises a three-bay nave, a three-bay north aisle, a two-bay chancel, and a south-west porch. The south face features a porch on the far left (west) with a stone, stepped and roll-moulded pointed arch, stone jambs and hoodmould, with a band roll moulding at the springer level. Behind the porch is a boarded door with ornate iron strap hinges, set under a stone roll moulded pointed arch with flanking stone columns. To the right of the porch is a three-light window with plate tracery and lancet-headed lights with quatrefoils above each light, set under a stone pointed arch with hoodmould. A similar two-light window is to the right. The chancel, with a higher roof, has two similar two-light windows. The west face displays a narrow stone, stepped lancet window with rusticated jambs and sillband, a short buttress, a facing gable, and a timber bell turret with a lead-covered base and broached tiled spirelet. The north face of the aisle has a three-light stone window with plate tracery set under a stone pointed arch, flanked by short buttresses. To the left (east) are two small stone, pointed arched windows. The east face of the chancel has a three-light stone window with pointed arch and hoodmould, rusticated jambs.

Inside, the arcade to the north aisle features three bays with clustered quatrefoil marble piers and pointed, chamfered stone arches. The nave has a timber wagon roof with a queen post truss at the west end, supporting the spirelet. The chancel arch resembles the arcade arches with marble piers, and the chancel has a two-bay quadripartite vault with ribs springing from foliated stone capitals with marble shafts. Stained glass windows are present. A Baroque cartouche monument to Thomas Smith (Lord of the Manor of Farlington), who died in 1742, is located in the west of the church.
