Description

The Church of St Andrew is a Grade I listed Chapel of Ease, dating from the 12th century with a nave and a 13th-century chancel that has undergone alterations in the 14th, 16th, 18th, and 19th centuries. It is constructed of flint, partly rendered, with ashlar dressings, and features a tiled roof with sprocketted eaves and a wooden bellcote at the west end. The building has a structurally undivided nave and chancel.

On the north wall, there is a 13th-century chamfered, pointed lancet window in the chancel and a round-headed lancet window from the 12th century in the nave. The west window, dating from the 16th century, consists of three lights under a square head. The south nave wall features a 19th-century two-light window to the west and an 18th-century window with two square-headed lights to the east. The south chancel wall has a 13th-century window with two trefoiled lights and a quatrefoil spandrel under a pointed head with a moulded label. The south doorway has a pointed head with a sunk chamfer and continuous jambs. The east window consists of two restored 13th-century lancets, while the north doorway from the 14th century has a chamfered pointed head and chamfered jambs. The south wall shows significant evidence of rebuilding and contains a blocked 12th-century doorway.

Inside, the church features a 15th-century nave roof with five queen-strut, tie beam trusses and chamfered wall-plates, along with a 19th-century waggon roof in the chancel. There is a 13th-century niche and piscina, a late 17th-century pulpit with chip carved panelled sides and steps with turned balusters, and a 12th-century font with a round bowl on a cylindrical stem. The church also contains a 15th-century glass roundel, with most of the glass dating from the 19th century, and 13th or 14th-century wall paintings depicting the Betrayal, the Scourging, the Crucifixion, the Deposition, and the Suicide of Judas, as well as 18th-century floor slabs.
