Parish Church Of St Andrew

The Parish Church of St Andrew is a large church primarily reconstructed in the early 14th century. It is built of rubble with stone slate roofs, featuring moulded plinths and cornices. The church has a four-bay aisled nave with north and south porches, the north porch being a 15th-century addition. There is no clerestorey, and an extra bay serves as a short internal transept. A distinctive tall spirelet is located in the sanctus bell position. The chancel, which dates from the 15th or 16th century, is two bays long, while the west tower, also from the 15th century, is crenellated and has three stages. The windows are two-light, square-headed with cusped ogee tracery, and there is a restored perpendicular east window of three lights. The west tower features Somerset tracery. The north door is pointed and early 14th century, adorned with carved naturalistic decoration on the jambs. The gabled south porch has flanking pinnacles with crocketted finials, and there is a small north door in the chancel. Above the main west window of the tower is a canopied niche.

Inside, the church has quadrilobe piers and pointed arcades, with a crossing below the spire that is open from below, and a narrow transept. There are traces of wall painting to the left of the north door depicting the Entry into Jerusalem. The tower stair door features a stilted relieving arch. St Catherine's chapel, located to the northeast, contains an early 14th-century ogee-headed piscina in the south wall along with a scalloped drain. Above this is a fine 16th-century pedimented tablet with a dense inscription, flanked by corbels, one of which has a fragment of possibly early 14th-century carving. The church has a plain tub font. The south porch contains two carved gisants, representing a man and wife, possibly from the 13th century. The graveyard is well stocked with numerous 18th and early 19th-century headstones and chest tombs, particularly to the south and southeast.
