Church Of St Andrew

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.
