St Andrew

Late medieval timber base to bell tower probably inserted in the C17.

The roof is covered in horizontal bands of red and blue tiles with a red section to the west end of the nave.

EXTERIOR: Unbuttressed chancel with a stained glass triple lancet east window, possibly by Ward & Hughes.

The north side of the nave retains a large blocked C12 doorway with imposts and shaft with cushion capitals and saltire cross decoration to the outer band of the round arch.

The inner doorway is C12 and has a roll-moulded round arch with saltire cross decoration to the outer band.

The round chancel arch is C12 but it has been heavily restored, and to either side and above is painted text.

To the north side of the chancel within a recess is a C13 stone effigy of a woman with her head supported by two angels and a dog resting at her feet.

There are also a number of C18 and C19 memorial tablets.

The polygonal timber pulpit on a stone base has decorated sides: blind cusped arches, with foliate and acorn carving to the spandrels.

A large C19 stone font with a quatrefoil bowl on a semi-circular stem.
