Full Description
PRN 60946
The medieval church of St Andrew has replaced an Anglo-Saxon predecessor. It has Norman, Early English and Perpendicular features. {1}{2}{3}
Archaeological monitoring during the installation of new drains around the walls of the church located the buttress foundations of the thirteenth century aisle and established that the seventeenth century bellcote at the west end of the nave probably replaced an earlier bellcote in the same position. {4}{5}
Stained glass in this church, which is still in situ, dates to the 15th century.{6}
