Church of Saint Andrew

The Church of Saint Andrew is a former parish church that is now redundant and managed by the Redundant Churches Fund. This small, single-cell church dates back to the 12th century and has undergone several changes over the years. It was re-roofed, and windows were added in the 16th century, with further refurbishments in the early 18th century.

The church features flint and rubble stone walls with a chamfered plinth and a tiled roof with stone eaves courses. At the west end, there is a tiled timber bell-cote. The nave includes an apsidal sanctuary, and the south wall has a blocked lancet window at the west end, followed by three 16th-century two-light square-headed windows with arched lights, all beneath label moulds. The apse is supported by three shallow pilaster buttresses and lacks an east window. The north wall of the nave has a stone buttress covering a blocked doorway, along with two later brick buttresses and a blocked window at the east end. The west wall features a square-headed doorway with a chamfered surround and a heavily studded oak door.

Internally, the walls are plastered, and the church has a segmental waggon roof from the 16th century, which is also plastered and includes chamfered ribs and bosses, along with later inserted tie-beams. The floors are made of flagstone, and all furnishings date to the early 18th century. The altar table has barley sugar turned legs, and the altar rails feature similar turned balusters, a moulded capping rail, and newels with ball finials. A screen with a flat top and rectangular framing provides access to the pulpit, which is made of oak and has raised panels and a sounding board. The box pews also have raised panels, and the west gallery, likely originally the rood loft, is late medieval with a panelled front.

The church contains a 15th-century octagonal stone font, which has had its bowl reduced in height. On the north wall, there is a memorial tablet commemorating the restoration of the church by A R Powys in 1931, and on the exterior of the south wall, there is a memorial stone for A R Powys, who died in 1936. Surrounding the churchyard is a brick wall with piers and plain coping, likely from the 18th century. The Church of Saint Andrew is regarded as a good unspoiled example of its kind.
