Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church located on Belmont Avenue in Starbeck, built in 1910 and designed by Austin & Paley of Lancaster. It is constructed from coursed rubble stone with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs with raised and coped gables that have kneelers. The building has a chamfered plinth and quoins. The nave and chancel are covered by a continuous roof, flanked by low side aisles and tall transepts, along with north and south porches.
The west front, facing High Street, includes a canted projection supported by two short buttresses, featuring a 5-light pointed arch window with panel tracery above a parapet. The north front, facing Belmont Avenue, has a projecting single-storey porch with a pointed arch doorway, broad buttresses, and a parapet. To the left, the aisle contains two 4-light and one 3-light mullion window. Above, there are five tall 2-light pointed arch windows with reticulated tracery, while the projecting transepts each have three similar windows, accompanied by tall, deep buttresses. The east front features a tall segment-headed 5-light window with reticulated tracery, and the south front mirrors the north.
Inside, the church retains double chamfered pointed arch arcades and a broad double chamfered chancel arch. The open wooden roof, original pews in the side aisles, wooden pulpit, marble font, and wooden choir screens with reredoses in the chancel and side chapel contribute to its historical character.
