Description
The Church of St Andrew is mainly a perpendicular church, largely rebuilt in the 1868. It was constructed of flint and stone with a tiled roof. The building comprises a chancel with an organ chamber to the north, a nave with aisles, a west tower located within the nave and featuring a crenellated parapet, and a north porch. The nave has three bays and a tie beam roof. There are two piscinas, one on the south wall of the chancel and one on the south wall of the south aisle. A C18 lectern is present. Wall paintings date from 1868. The east window contains Art Nouveau stained glass depicting the Annunciation, dated 1896 and signed Arild Rosenrantz. Reportedly, this was the first European commission for American glassmakers, according to a 1896 report in The New York Times. A monument to the Rev Alexander Young, dated 1755, was created by Sir Robert Taylor. The churchyard contains C18 headstones featuring motifs such as cherubs, skulls, hourglasses and heavenly trumpets, as well as chest tombs and C19 oval bodystones.
