Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a former chapel of ease that now serves as a parish church. The nave roof is dated 1637, while the remainder of the church was reconstructed in the late 17th century, with extensive rebuilding taking place in 1896-1897. The building is constructed of coursed rubble limestone and features a stone slate roof.

The nave is without aisles and includes a chancel. It has a rather plain appearance, with gabled ends at the parapet, and the east end features a 17th-century bellcote. There is a late 19th-century moulded pointed arched south doorway towards the west end, which has attached jamb shafts. Offset buttresses divide the nave into three bays, two of which contain 2-light square-headed windows with trefoil tracery heads and thin hoodmoulds. The west window is a three-light Perpendicular style window. The lower chancel has similar windows on the south side, a small reset 12th-century window on the north, and a Tudor arched doorway with a 2-light window above. The east window in the Perpendicular style is from the late 19th century.

Inside, the walls of the nave are unplastered and appear to be from the 19th century. The panelled nave barrel roof features moulded ribbing and carved bosses, which are said to be a survival from the 17th century. The chancel arch is moulded in the 19th century. There is a Jacobean hexagonal pulpit and a bowl font with a tall octagonal base that has been recorded since 1680. A reset memorial stone at the west end is inscribed to IOHANNIS HUNTLEY, who died in 1622. The church contains some good stained glass, including a small Norman window with glass signed by G. Taylor of Berners Street, and a south chancel window by Maile & Son of Euston Road, London. The church fell into a state of ruin when the Church of St Peter became the main village church in 1849.
