Church of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a Grade II* listed building located on Horsham Road in Grafham, Bramley. It was constructed between 1861 and 1864 by architect Henry Woodyer, who funded the project himself. The church is built from coursed sandstone blocks and features red brick angle quoins and moulded brick eaves, along with a timber-framed porch. The roofs are plain tiled, and the west end is topped with a stone ashlar drum that supports a wood-shingled spire.

The layout includes a nave with an apsidal chancel to the east, a porch to the south, a vestry to the north of the chancel, and the spire at the west end. There is a brick-dressed plinth and sill band, with brick tumbling work on the buttresses. The windows consist of paired lancets and roundel fenestration, with the chancel windows breaking through the eaves on the apse and alternating with inscribed roundel panels. The main entrance on the west side features a chamfered and splayed three-step stone surround with Celtic-style strapwork hinges. Above the door, a brick sill band rises to form a gable moulding that encloses an arched niche containing a statue of St. Andrew. A trefoil head lancet window is positioned above the conical spire, which has small gablets on each face at the apex. The porch to the south is supported by turned baluster posts and features trefoil head arcades on stone plinth walls, with double wooden doors.

Inside, the church is whitewashed, although it was originally stencilled. Notable interior features include an alabaster reredos and triple sedilia on the south wall of the chancel, which are carved with images of Woodyer, his wife, and daughter. There is also a stone and alabaster font, and a triple-arched billeted screen supported by round columns with half column responds, featuring moulded capitals decorated with palm leaf motifs. Henry Woodyer is buried beneath the churchyard cross located to the south of the church.
