Description
The Church of St Andrew is a Grade II listed building featuring a timber frame with corrugated iron cladding. The roof is covered with newly installed box-profile metal sheets. This four-window church has pointed timber windows with Y-tracery, a west spirelet, and a west porch. The spirelet has a base that flares over the ridge, a squat louvred stage for a single bell, and a four-sided spire clad in sheet metal that also flares at the base. The porch is gabled, retains its original crested ridge, and includes a ledged door. On the west wall of the church, there are pointed windows on either side of the porch. The east end features a high-set pointed window. At the southeast corner, there is a small vestry made from matching materials, which has one pointed window and one pointed ledged door on the south side.
