St Andrew’s Church is a Grade 1 Listed Building well-described in “A Brief History” by Steven J Taylor, a small illustrated booklet which is obtainable from the Church bookstall near the Font. Norman origins still exist and there is a 13th Century Effigy and some stonework. The 14th Century is noted for the addition of a North Aisle and alterations and additions seem to have been made in the 15th and 16th Centuries, with the Tower added in the late 15th Century. In 1888 considerable restoration took place and in 1900 a Vestry, with a cellar beneath, was added to the North of the Lady Chapel. The present wooden Rood Screen was erected in 1907, replacing the 16th Century screen removed by order of Henry VIII. In 1982 the floor of the Ringing Chamber was raised to provide a Robing Room for the Choir and a quiet retreat for young children during Services. In 1998 a new Vestry was built in the north-west corner, along with a small kitchen area and toilet. The former vestry is now available for small meetings and particularly for the Sunday School. In the last 5 years an audio system has been installed and the central heating upgraded to a gas-fired radiator system.
