Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a church built in 1851 by E B Lamb for Lady Frankland. It is constructed from coursed gritstone rubble and ashlar, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. The church features a 3-bay nave, a north aisle with a tower and porch at the west end, and a 3-bay chancel. It is designed in an Early English style and is situated on a steep slope.

A flight of seven stone steps leads to the porch, which has a studded board door with scrolled hinges set in a chamfered pointed arch beneath a deep pitched roof with gable copings. The tower has two storeys, tall lancet belfry windows, stepped angle buttresses, and deep corbelled eaves leading to a pyramidal spire adorned with small lucarnes and a finial. The north aisle features three paired trefoil-headed windows, while the east window consists of three trefoil-headed lancets. The south side mirrors the north aisle, and the west end has two trefoil-headed lancets separated by a stepped buttress. The gables are topped with wide copings and cross finials.

Inside, the north aisle roof is supported by a deeply chamfered ashlar pillar with corbels that carry the timberwork of the nave and aisle roof. The nave roof is of a hammer-beam type with king posts, while the chancel roof features an arch braced truss. The porch's inner door, like the door to the left leading into the tower, has studs and scroll hinges. The altar rail and pulpit are made of 17th-century oak, with the rail's balusters finely carved with alternating fluted columns.

The church exemplifies the work of E B Lamb, known for its low contour and heavy appearance, along with a complex timber roof structure, similar to his designs at St Mary's Church in Gospel Oak, London, and St Mary's in Addiscombe, Surrey.
