Description
The Church of St Andrew is a Grade II* listed building located in Normanby Village. It features a mid-12th century arcade and a chancel arch dating from around 1300, which was partly rebuilt in 1894. The church was rebuilt in 1718 and underwent restoration and chancel reconstruction from 1893 to 1895 by Temple Moore, during which a 15th-century east window was reset in the north wall of the chancel. The structure is made of coursed sandstone rubble, with the west end rebuilt in dressed sandstone and windows crafted from sandstone ashlar. The roofs are tiled for the nave and porch, while the chancel has a stone slate roof.
The church has a west bellcote, a three-bay nave, a north aisle, and a south porch, along with a chancel and a north vestry. The west end features a segment-headed window with three cusped lights beneath a hoodmould, and a gabled bellcote with twin arches and a gable cross. There is a lancet window in the west end of the north aisle. The nave's porch contains earlier masonry, including a 13th-century corbel, the base of a 12th-century column, and a reset lancet. The rebuilt doorway incorporates part of a 12th-century roll-moulded arch. To the east of the porch is a square-headed window with three trefoil-headed lights, along with paired lancets further east. The north side has two lancets, while the chancel's south wall features two lancets, with the eastern one having a trefoil ogee head. The north side has one lancet, and the east end has a three-light window beneath a two-centred arch and hoodmould.
Inside, the north arcade consists of round arches on cylindrical piers with square abaci and moulded capitals. The two-centred chancel arch is supported by half-octagonal triple responds. The north respond capital is carved with two affronted birds, while the south respond capital features ivy leaves and a grotesque head to the east. The north wall of the chancel contains a reset square-headed window with three lights, cavetto mullions, and cinquefoil heads. The sanctuary's south wall has a piscina with a 13th-century trefoil head and a 12th-century colonette. The church has a barrel-vaulted king-post roof with finely carved bosses, a 17th-century octagonal font on a 19th-century pedestal, and an alms box, possibly from the 17th century, shaped like a turned baluster. Some 17th-century turned balusters have been reused in the altar rail.
