Description
The Church of St Andrew is a Grade II* Anglican parish church located in Brympton d'Evercy. It dates back to the 14th century and was partly restored in 1891. The church is constructed from cut and squared ham stone with ashlar dressings and features a plain clay tiled roof set between stepped coped gables. It has a cross finial at the east end and a simple bell turret with two bells at the west end.
The church consists of a single bay chancel and a two-bay nave, with small porches on the north and south sides. It has a chamfered plinth and corner buttresses of varying heights at the west end. The east window and the north and south nave windows are two-light with reticulated traceries, all featuring arched labels with square stops on the east and south sides and curl stops on the north side. The north and south chancel windows, dating from the 17th century, are also two-light with incised spandrils, and only the south side has a square stop label. The west window is a small two-light rectangular tracery with a plain label, likely the oldest window, positioned above a two-light flat-headed chamfer mullioned window without a label.
The south porch, likely from the 19th century, has a moulded pointed arch with a label under a coped gable topped with a cross finial, and a low two-light window in the east wall. Nearby is a 19th-century stone chimney with a square base, offsets, and an octagonal top with a moulded cap. The north porch, dated 1613, features a plain chamfered semi-circular outer arch and a pointed inner arch with an early door, along with stone bench seats and a 19th-century panelled roof.
While the interior is not accessible, it is noted to contain an octagonal pulpit dated 1624, some 18th-century pews, and an 18th-century font.
