Description
The Church of St Andrew, also known as the United Reformed Church, was built between 1887 and 1888 by architects Campbell Douglas and Sellars from Glasgow. It features a scholarly Early English style with a stone exterior made of smooth grey Purbeck stone dressed with Bath stone. The church has a slender tower topped with a belfry that includes a tall triplet of lancet windows, of which one is open and two are blind; the spire was removed in 1947. The west front is designed for ritual use, showcasing a wheel window and flat buttresses. The aisles have paired lancet windows, and the clerestory is adorned with gabled plate tracery. The entrance and spoutheads display stiff-leaf carving. Inside, the church contrasts with a buff brick interior that features red terracotta roundels in the spandrels of the arcade.
