Description
The Church of St Andrew in Stoke Damerel is a parish church that features a 15th-century tower, while the rest of the structure was heavily remodeled or rebuilt in 1751 and has undergone later alterations and restorations. The building is constructed of rendered stone with some granite dressings, and the south porch is made of Plymouth limestone with freestone dressings. It has dry slate roofs.
The church has a plan that includes a nave and chancel, north and south aisles, and a west tower. The north aisle contains two late 18th-century round-arched hornless sash windows with glazing bars that intersect at the heads. The south aisle windows, designed by Charles Cheverton in 1904, are in a similar style with fixed lights above low transoms. The east window of the south aisle is a traceried three-light window, and there are 18th-century oval lights with radiating glazing bars in the east and west gables. The north porch features a 16th-century four-centred arched doorway with a square hoodmould and quatrefoils in the spandrels.
The three-stage west tower has diagonal buttresses and polygonal pinnacles on an embattled parapet, along with a large clock face on the second stage. Above the west doorway, which now has a traceried window, is a two-centred arched window, both with hoodmoulds.
Inside, the church has four-bay arcades with elliptical arches supported by slender oak Tuscan columns. Notable fittings include a mid-19th-century Perpendicular style plaster font and pulpit, with other fittings dating from the late 19th or 20th centuries. The east window of the north aisle features stained glass from 1863 with rich colors. There are also monuments, including one by Isbell and various 18th and 19th-century wall monuments dedicated to army and navy personnel.
