Description
The Church of St Andrew is a parish church built in 1841. It is constructed from local stone that has been cut and squared, with Doulting stone ashlar dressings, and features a Welsh slate roof between coped gables. The church has a two-cell plan consisting of a one-bay chancel and a three-bay nave, along with a west tower, a southwest corner porch, and a small vestry located to the north of the chancel plinth. There are no buttresses. The north and south walls have two-light 'Y'-tracery pointed arch windows with labels, while the east wall is blank. The porch and the inner doorways under the tower have plain chamfered pointed arches, and there are two small lancets in the west wall of the porch.
The tower is divided into two stages and features a plinth, string courses, and a battlemented parapet with plain corner pinnacles. It has plain lancet windows under labels on all faces of the second stage, as well as a plain lancet low in the west wall of the first stage. The interior has not been seen, but it is reported to contain a 12th-century font, a 17th-century font with a cover, and a chancel arch in a pre-Reformation style. This church was built on a new site in 1841 after the medieval church nearby was burnt down.
