Description
The Church of St Andrew, now functioning as an Arts Centre, dates from the 13th century with additions from the 14th and 15th centuries, along with 19th-century alterations. It underwent restoration and conversion between 1971 and 1976, with a further addition in 1989. The exterior features pebble-dash render with stone quoins at the east end and ashlar dressings, topped by a plain tile roof. The bellcote has 20th-century weatherboarding and wood shingles, while the 1989 addition is made of rubblestone brought to course, featuring plain tile roofs and glazed gables with wooden mullions.
The church has a 5-bay nave and chancel combined, with a north vestry and a bellcote with a broached spire at the west end, along with a paired-gabled addition on the north side. The west end is supported by large diagonal buttresses with tile offsets. A pointed archway with a panelled double door is located inside, above which is a 2-light Perpendicular window with a hoodmould and a gable oculus. Set into the wall on the left is a likely early 16th-century wall monument depicting a family and angels.
On the south side, the nave features two 2-light windows with hoodmoulds, the right one having a 20th-century door inserted below it, along with two badly weathered re-set wall monuments, probably from the early 16th and 17th centuries. The chancel has a lancet window. The east end showcases a restored window with 3 stepped lancets. The north side includes an altered vestry that conceals a chancel lancet and a Tudor-arched priest's door, retaining a cusped 1-light south window with a decorative wall monument from around 1774 reset below. The nave has one window with 2 lights featuring foiled heads and a quatrefoil, as well as a 2-light Perpendicular window with panel tracery and a hoodmould.
Inside, there is a trefoil-headed stoup and a mid-18th-century wall monument with a simple classical architrave. The roof features a coved cornice and a 19th-century ribbed boarded roof with floral bosses over the chancel, along with an inserted west gallery. This is a simple 13th-century church with later medieval features.
