Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church built in 1863 by Benjamin Ferrey. It is constructed of flint with Bath stone and features a plain tiled roof. The church has a canted apsidal chancel, a nave, and north and south chapels. Architectural details include paired lancets and plate tracery throughout, as well as lancets, offset buttresses, and a corbel table supporting the banded tiled roof in the apse.
Inside, the roof trusses are supported by carved head corbels. The chancel arch is a continuous double wave moulded arch, with an inner chamfered arch on black marble attached shafts. The church contains contemporary fittings and stained glass in the nave south window by Kempe, dated 1900.
There are several monuments that have been reset from an earlier church, including a black marble wall plaque for Ann Petit, who died in 1676, featuring a pediment enriched with foliage and wreaths. A large black and white wall plaque commemorates William Merryweather, who died in 1702, located in the south chapel and designed as a double tablet with a bolection moulded surround and acanthus decoration. Additional plaques for his family are set below. A wall plaque for John Lownde, who died in 1754, is made of white marble with a pediment and scrolled sides on the nave south wall. Another plaque for Ann Elizabeth Frederick, who died in 1805, is on the nave north wall, made of white marble with a grey obelisk-shaped background and a carved burning lamp above.
Before the current church was built in 1863, there was a simple two-cell Romanesque church, possibly mentioned in the Domesday Book.
