St Andrew

Slate roof to nave, tiles to chancel.

High C15 porch with diagonal buttresses and parapet of black knapped flint

C14 south doorway to nave with multiple continuous mouldings and hood- mould.

C14 chancel : quarter-round mouldings to narrow pointed priest door

a 2-light window with cusping and quatrefoil to each face of the top stage: all these features apparently early C14, although wills of 1439 and 1440 refer to the tower as new.

a large clock has been fitted into the top window, and a single block of carved stone with a shield has been let into the flintwork of the lowest stage.

The nave interior is filled with a very fine set of C15 benches with traceried panels against the ends, tracery and crestings along the backs, poppy-heads, and figures of animals and birds, monsters, and one kneeling figure, on the arms.

C14 octagonal font on a low base with various traceried panels around the bowl.

Very late C17 panelled pulpit with Jacobean sounding-board.

Remains of medieval stained glass in the heads of all the nave windows, and the remains of old leaded panes of crown glass to the lights.

The former medieval studded plank south door to the church has been reversed, refaced in C19, and is now the door of the vestry in the base of the tower.

Chancel fittings mostly date from the 1877 restoration, and the stained glass is all of that date.

on north wall, a memorial brass with a standing figure to William Goche, sometime rector, d. 1499.

Roof in 4 bays: arched- braced trusses without collars, the braces meeting at a central pendant with carved boss.
