Church of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a church dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed of squared, coursed lias stone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. The church comprises a nave with a south aisle, a chancel with north and south projections, and a west tower.

The chancel has a single-window range of 2-light 19th-century windows on its north and south sides, and a similar 4-light east window with decorative tracery. The roof is gabled with ashlar parapets and kneelers. Vestry and organ chambers project from the chancel at right angles, each featuring 2-light 19th-century windows with gabled roofs, ashlar gable parapets, kneelers, and finials. The south aisle has four 2-light windows from the late 13th century. The second window from the left includes a 2-light square-headed doorway with a single chamfered arch and shafts. A late 13th-century 2-light window is located on the west side. The gabled roof has ashlar parapets and a finial on the west gable. The south nave clerestory features five 2-light Perpendicular windows with 4-centred arch heads. The north side of the nave has two 3-light Perpendicular windows with 4-centred arch heads, and a matching clerestory above. A gabled porch is situated between the window range on the north side, featuring a pointed chamfered arch and small 2-light square-headed windows in its east and west walls. The north entrance to the church has an elaborate Perpendicular surround, including a 4-centred arch head with leaf spandrels, flanking buttresses with pinnacles, and ten fleuron motifs along the hood mould.

The four-stage west tower has three-stage clasped buttresses. The west door is above a 3-light Perpendicular window. Each face of the fourth stage contains parts of 2-light Perpendicular bell chamber openings with transoms. A quatrefoil frieze sits above a castellated parapet, with gargoyles at the corners.

Inside, the chancel has 19th-century arches to the vestry and organ chamber, and a barrel roof. The Perpendicular chancel arch has three shafted clusters with hollows between. The four-bay south arcade has double chamfered arches, piers with four shafts and four hollows, and a triple chamfered tower arch. A 19th-century arch connects the south aisle to the organ chamber. The nave roof has a shallow pitch with moulded tie beams, likely dating back to the 15th century, supported by angel corbels with shields. Stained glass in a lower south aisle window contains fragments of medieval glass, including one depiction of a man with a devil on his back, dated approximately 1520. The original plank door and lock remain on the north side. Monumental inscriptions, including a Latin inscription dated 1606, are present, likely reset in the 19th century. A 19th-century sedilia is located to the right of the altar, and a niche in the south wall features diamond decoration to the soffit and short shafts.
