Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is an Anglican parish church dating from 1858, designed by T. H. Wyatt. It is constructed of knapped flint with ashlar quoins, and has a plain and fish-scale tiled roof with coped verges, saddle stones, and cross finials. The church comprises a nave, south aisle, chancel, south chapel, a south porch, and an attached church room at the west end, with a bellcote at the west gable. The architectural style is Gothic.

The gabled south porch has a Romanesque door with chevron moulding incorporating original stone, and attached shafts. It is buttressed and has three cusped lancet windows on its west side. The inner door has a pointed arch with a hoodmould and foliated terminals. A door to the south aisle is similarly styled. The south aisle features a two-light window with plate tracery and a hoodmould to the left of the porch, and a pair of cusped lancets either side of a central two-light window with plate tracery and hoodmould with foliated terminals; these are topped by a gable. The clerestory contains four cinquefoil windows. The south chapel has a blocked doorway, and a cusped lancet window to the right. The east window of the chapel is a group of three cusped lancets, with a continuous string course running along the east end of the church. The chancel has a two-light plate tracery window on the south side, a three-light plate tracery window with carved head terminals to the east end, and three cusped lancets to the north side. The north side of the nave has one three-light plate tracery window and two two-light plate tracery windows. The west window is a four-light geometric decorated-style window.

Attached to the west end is a flat-roofed church room and vestry, enlarged in the 20th century, with two three-light windows in a 16th-century style on the west side.

The interior of the five-bay nave has plain painted walls and an arch-braced collar truss roof supported by stone corbels, with decorative painting. A pointed arcade of three double-chamfered arches leads to the south aisle, which has a lean-to roof. A pointed east arch leads to the south chapel, which has a braced-collar rafter roof. The chancel has a scissor-rafter roof, a double-chamfered pointed chancel arch, a pointed arch to the south chapel, and a door with a hoodmould and foliated terminals.

The church contains original Victorian furnishings. The west window and other windows contain re-used 13th-century grisaille glass from Salisbury Cathedral, which was found in the city ditch in 1933. The chancel windows re-use 18th-century and early 19th-century stained glass, and the north side of the chancel has good late 19th-century stained glass depicting the Greenly family. Wall tablets in the south porch date from the 18th and early 19th centuries, including one with fine lettering to Peter Bathurst of Clarendon Park, who died in 1718. Fragmentary remains of a Medieval church are found in the west end of the churchyard.
