Description
The Church of St Andrew is a Grade II listed building constructed of rubble stone with slate roofs, featuring coped gables, cross finials, and red terracotta ridges. It has ashlar plate tracery windows and an ashlar spirelet at the west end. The church consists of a nave, chancel, south transept, and a gabled south door. The short two-window nave includes two flush two-light windows on the north side and one similar window on the south side, located to the left of a slightly projecting gabled doorway. The west end has a recessed two-light window above a plaque that reads, "This church was built 1814 James Phillips Treriffith, churchwarden." The squat spirelet is made of ashlar with a square base that transitions to an octagonal shape, featuring quatrefoils on the diagonal faces. Above this is a short octagonal ashlar spire with very small lucarnes on the cardinal faces.
The south transept has a similar flush two-light window on the south side, while the chancel has two similar two-light windows on the south side, one on the north side, and a lean-to vestry on the north. The east window is a three-light design. All windows have simple cusped heads for the main lancets and small quatrefoils above, with variations in the principal windows featuring a cinqfoil on the west, a quatrefoil vesica on the south, and three quatrefoils on the east.
The porch features ashlar jambs, a moulded pointed ashlar arch, and an ashlar blank trefoil at the apex. It has double ledged doors with wrought iron strap hinges. The interior is plastered with rafter roofs and arch-braced collars with king struts. The pointed chamfered chancel arch has moulded caps. There is a large square ashlar font from around 1865 with roundel panels, set on a slate centre shaft with four ringed angle shafts. A timber three-sided pulpit is mounted on a stone base. The chancel includes a moulded pointed vestry door and a trefoil-headed shelf on the north side.
The church fittings include an ashlar Gothic reredos with a crocketted gabled centerpiece and cross-gabled side piers. The center panel has an inlaid plaster IHS, and the outer lancet panels feature the Greek letters A and O. Encaustic tile wall panels flank the reredos. The east window features stained glass by S.E. Colby, who died in 1867, and the church also contains stalls and rails from 1866.
