Description

St Andrew’s Parish Church, built in 1905 to a cruciform plan, stands alongside a hall and features a three-stage tower topped with a green copper spire. The church is constructed from squared and snecked bull-faced sandstone with ashlar dressings. An ashlar base course defines the entrance elevation, and openings are chamfered with hoodmoulds and buttresses. The hall incorporates half-timber detailing.

The north (entrance) elevation is dominated by the tower, accessed via a flight of steps, and a timber, two-leaf door with vertical paneling and upper diamond-leaded panes. A stepped hoodmould sits above the door. The tower's octagonal stair turret includes arrow slits, rising above a battlemented parapet. A bipartite window with a stone mullion features at the second stage, while the third stage has a louvred belfry opening with a stone mullion. To the right of the tower, an advanced gable showcases a large, pointed arch, traceried window.

The east elevation displays a four-bay section with an advanced transept and a recessed two-bay section, all with pointed arch openings. The tower is prominent, with a canted four-light bay window at ground level. The church hall has a timber, two-leaf entrance door, and an advanced gable features a tripartite mullioned and transomed window with half-timbering at the apex. Two bays are present to the right, with the outer bay recessed and incorporating wallhead half-timber detail.

The glazing is predominantly diamond-leaded panes, and the roof is covered with graded grey slates.

Inside, the church features a four-bay nave with a timber ceiling springing from stone corbels. A gallery on the north side contains a 1920 stained glass window depicting the Sermon on the Mount by Oscar Paterson, accompanied by a timber entrance screen with leaded glass above. The pointed arch chancel includes a timber ceiling and oak dado panelling, with a stained glass Ascension window by James H Leat of Oscar Paterson’s studio, dating from 1908. An oak communion table and lectern are integral to the design. A war memorial commemorating the First and Second World Wars stands to the left. Aisles are located to the left and right, with timber ceilings. The pews are predominantly timber; some modern seating is located to the south.

A boundary wall, constructed from squared and snecked bull-faced sandstone with saddle-backed stepping coping, encloses the site.
