Description
The Church of St Andrew is a Grade II* listed building located in Letcombe Regis. The lower stages of the tower date back to the 12th century, while the nave and chancel were constructed in the 15th century. The church underwent restoration in the 19th century. The lower stages of the tower are built from uncoursed rubble stone, and the upper parts feature coursed squared stone. The roof is covered with plain tiles, although the roof of the tower is not visible.
The church has a four-bay nave, a three-bay chancel, and a west tower. A 19th-century porch is situated at the center of the nave, featuring part-glazed outer doors and a plank inner door, all framed by a two-centre arched stone doorway. On either side of the nave, there are 19th-century two-light windows with geometrical tracery. The chancel has a plank door leading to a two-centre arched doorway, and on either side, there are likely 15th-century three-light stone mullion windows with pointed lights and hood moulds.
The north side of the church is rendered, likely over uncoursed stone rubble. It features a four-centre arched doorway with a studded plank door at the center of the nave, flanked by two-light rectilinear tracery windows. The upper level of the nave has two-light stone mullion windows with arch-topped lights. There is also a two-centre arched doorway with a plank door leading to a 19th-century vestry, and a probable 15th-century three-light stone mullion window with arch-topped lights and a hood mould to the left of the chancel. To the right of the vestry is a 19th-century stone mullion window. The east end of the church features a three-light rectilinear tracery window with a hood mould.
The tower includes two-light plate tracery windows on each face of the middle stage, while the upper stage has two-light stone mullion louvred openings with hood moulds. The tower is topped with a battlemented parapet adorned with gargoyles.
Inside, the chancel has a three-bay arch-braced collar truss roof, and the nave features a four-bay arch-braced collar truss roof. There is a 19th-century two-centred chancel arch and a two-centred tower arch. The church also contains a round Romanesque stone font with a scalloped band at the top.
