St Andrew

St Andrew

Timworth

Suffolk

C14, extensively restored 1868 at the sole expense, and in the characteristic style, of the then incumbent, the Rev. E.R. Benyon.

Architectural Features

Simple pointed C13 arch with continuous mouldings to north doorway and 2 lancets on the north wall of the chancel

Early C14 south doorway with continuous mouldings, and on the surrounding arch, which forms part of the north wall of the tower, a number of C18 graffiti.

The C14 tower was added on the south, since the west end of the nave is too near the boundary of the churchyard to fit it in on the west.

Heavily restored interior: roof, benches and font all renewed.

But a fine set of late C17 altar rails with barley-sugar twist balusters, and a short flight of steps up to the pulpit with the same balusters.

Handsome Baroque pulpit
