St Andrew's is a small red brick church with an elegant, slender tower.

It was built in 1711 for the Tyrwhitts, whose family seat was nearby.

An unusual feature inside is the set of embroidered biblical texts worked by the Tyrwhitt ladies for the opening of the church.

The materials used for St Andrew's are red brick lain in Flemish bond and limestone.

This unusual assemblage of wrought iron brackets is high on the north (east) wall at the front of the church.

The long straight brackets supported banners or flags.  The lower bracket is designed for a hanging oil lamp.

The doorway, midway along the south (actually west, because of the odd orientation of the building) has a fine open segmental pediment on brackets.
