Description
The Church of St Andrew is a Grade I listed building located in Funtington, West Stoke. It dates from the 11th to 13th centuries and is constructed of flint rubble with tiled roofs. The church features a nave, chancel, and a south porch. The nave, dating from the 11th to 12th centuries, includes a Norman north door, while the chancel and south porch were added in the 13th century. The chancel arch was modified in 1841, and there are Victorian windows in the south nave wall, but the interior and the rere arches remain largely original. The church has a low tower above the porch and likely features a late medieval Queen strut roof. It also contains a medieval south door, an 18th-century communion rail, and a late 16th-century Stoughton monument, with the rest of the fittings and furnishings being Victorian. Overall, the church is very plain with few decorative details, yet it is a largely intact example of early medieval architecture.
