Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a Congregational church built between 1897 and 1898 by architects Cubitt and Collinson. It is constructed of red brick with Bath stone dressings and has clay plain tile roofs. The church features a wide nave, low north and south aisles, a west tower, and a narthex, with a vestry located to the southeast. It is designed in the Perpendicular/Tudor style.

The exterior showcases a west end gable that includes a tripartite window with ogee hoodmoulds and shafts between, topped with crocketed pinnacles. Below this is a moulded three-centred arch west doorway, flanked by brick buttresses with set-offs. The tower, which is set back over the west end, has a rectangular plan with angle and diagonal buttresses, and features three and two-light bell-openings. It is topped with a corbelled embattled parapet, small stone pinnacles, and a polygonal stair turret with an open timber canopy above, culminating in a squat tiled spire with a lead-clad finial and a wrought-iron cross. The north and south aisles are adorned with three-light windows between buttresses, while the clerestorey above has two-light windows with four-centred arches.

Inside, the church has plastered walls and red brick arches. The wide nave is supported by an arch-braced timber roof on balusters set on stone corbels. It features three-bay arcades, where the mouldings of the four-centred arches die into circular stone piers. The clerestorey above has brick rear arches and curved braces to the beams over the aisles. There is a moulded four-centred chancel arch leading to a polygonal apse with two-light stained glass windows; the altar has been removed and an organ is positioned at the side. A tall two-centred tower arch with a gallery below completes the interior, which also contains 19th-century benches.
