St Andrew

C14 priest's door on south side of chancel with ogee arch.

The C14 north porch is faced with flushwork and has a 2-bay open timber roof.

This is said to have been raised in the C17.

The building has a complex development, with the south aisle having been the nave of the original C12 Norman church, to which an apsidal chancel was once attached.

The west front of this church is now visible within the base of the tower, which was added in the early C14.

The C12 west portal, lavishly decorated, has 4 orders of colonettes variously ornamented with billet, stylised flowers and an outer incomplete ring of beasts.

There are the remains of wall-paintings in red ochre on the south wall of the aisle, and a set of Royal Arms of George III.

In the south-east corner, the damaged altar tomb of Nicholas Bohun, , with a genealogical brass above.

no collars, but the long arched braces tenoned into hanging posts carrying carved bosses

Mid C14 nave and chancel: nave arcade of 5 bays with octagonal piers and arches with double hollow-chamfer.

painted headless figures remain to the base of some corbels.
