St Andrew

Large unusual carved gargoyles.

Lean-to porch on west end of the aisle has diagonal buttresses and contains a 2-centred arch doorway with moulded surround and hoodmould with label stops carved as human heads.

The church door behind (into the west end of the aisle) is a low Tudor arch.

Priest's doorway has a small Tudor arch with carved foliate spandrels.

It is probably C15 or C16 but is much mended.

Beerstone 5-bay arcade (one overlapping the chancel) with moulded piers (Pevsner's type B) and carved capitals.

C19 oak altar is made up of panels carved like C15 bench ends.

Fine late C15 oak rood screen.

It is richly carved with Perpendicular blind arcading to the wainscotting.

The windows have Perpendicular tracery (Pevsners's type A), the coved vault has Gothic decoration and there is a frieze of 3 bands of delicately undercut carved foliage.

Pulpit and lectern are both late C19 oak with carved Gothic surround.

The oak benches are mostly C19 with their ends carved in C15 style but some are original with tiers of blind tracery carved on the bench ends.

Late C19 limestone font in Perpendicular style.

An old oak chest in the nave is dated 1681.

Memorials: a very well-preserved and high quality Beerstone chest tomb has been reset in a niche to the north of the sanctuary.

The other monuments are C19 and of little more than local interest, except for the graveslab in memory of John Coleridge Patteson, the missionary bishop who died in Melanesia in 1871.

There is some good C19 glass particularly the east chancel window and the tower window.
