Description
The Church of St Andrew is a Grade I listed building dating from the 14th century, with restoration and remodeling around 1730 for the Rudge family. It features a rendered exterior on stone rubble, stone dressings, and an old plain-tile roof with a wooden bellcote at the ridge. The church has a three-bay nave, a two-bay chancel, and a west porch. The porch contains an eight-panel door framed by a moulded stone architrave with a pulvinated frieze and a triangular pediment, which has a cornice that serves as a string-course around the porch. There are blocked 14th-century doorways with two-centre arched heads on both sides of the nave. The nave has two round-headed 18th-century windows with leaded lights, and the chancel has one round-headed 18th-century window. Both the nave and chancel are topped with battlemented parapets and end gables. The rear of the church features two round-headed 18th-century windows in the nave and one in the chancel. The east end has a Venetian window with leaded lights, while the west end has a round-headed 18th-century window above the porch.
Inside, the nave boasts a 14th-century three-bay king-post roof and a plaster vault in the chancel. Early 18th-century fittings include an altar table, altar rail, box pews, a family pew with a frieze of pierced scroll work, a pulpit with a tester, a reading desk, and a stone font on a vase-baluster. A monument to John Rudge, created around 1730 by P. Scheemakers, features a pedimented Corinthian frame on brackets, topped with reclining cherubs and an urn. The west window contains 18th-century armorial stained glass, while the east window was designed by Morris and Co. around 1898.
