Description
The Church of St Andrew is a 13th-century church with alterations from the 14th century. In approximately 1857, the south aisle was widened and the arcade rebuilt by J.B. Clancy. A south porch was likely added around 1869 by Charles Buckeridge. The church is constructed of flint and stone with stone dressings, with colourwashed flint and stone to the nave, roughcast to the chancel, and knapped flint to the porch. The roofs are of plain tiles, although the tower roof is not visible.
The church consists of a three-bay aisled nave, a chancel, and a west tower. A 19th-century porch is located to the left of centre on the south aisle, featuring a two-centred archway with a hood mould and double wood gates, and trefoil openings to the sides. The interior of the porch has a two-centred arched doorway with carved end stops and a 19th-century studded door. The south aisle has a two-light stone window with Perpendicular tracery, a flat head, and a hood mould, alongside a triple-lancet window with a flat head and a hood mould, and a two-light Y-tracery window. A lancet window is located to the right return of the south aisle.
The chancel has a two-centred arched doorway with a 19th-century plank door. It contains a two-light window with Reticulated tracery, a two-light window with Y-tracery, and a three-light east window with Reticulated tracery. The rear of the chancel features two lancets. The north aisle has a lancet window, a two-centred arched moulded doorway with a 19th-century plank door and wrought-iron hinges, and two-light windows with Reticulated tracery. A lancet window is present on the right return of the north aisle.
The square west tower has angle buttresses and a three-light window with Perpendicular tracery on the west side. Rectangular windows are present on the other sides, except the east. There are two louvred openings with Perpendicular tracery on each side of the tower and a battlemented parapet.
Inside, a piscina is located to the right of the chancel. The chancel contains 19th-century stained glass and a good series of 17th and 18th-century wall monuments. The chancel arch is Early English from the 14th century, with a two-centred shape supported by cluster columns and a hood mould with foliate ends on the nave side. The north and south aisles feature canopied image niches supported by brackets on carved heads, and there is a fragmentary painted inscription on the north aisle wall.
