Kelly's Directory 1930 notes :-

"The church of St. Andrew, restored in 1864, is an ancient edifice of stone in the Early English and Decorated styles, consisting of chancel with chantry, nave, aisles, south porch and an embattled western tower containing 3 bells and a clock erected as a war memorial:

the carved oak pulpit is modern:

the carved oak belfry screen and oak choir stalls were added by parishioners after 1923:

there is an ancient font, placed in 1876 upon an octagonal stone base:

there are several inscribed tablets, including one recording the names of the men of Dowsby who fell in the Great War, 1914-18, and a life-sized recumbent effigy of Etheldreda Rigdon, and on the floor of the vestry are six brasses to the Burrells, formerly of Dowsby Hall, including Redmayne Burrell, ob. 1682, and others to 1763, and a brass to Judith, wife of Humfrey Hyde Clerk, d. 1700:

the restoration of 1863-4, effected at a cost of £1,100, amounted almost to a rebuilding of the fabric, in the course of which several fragments of a former Norman church were discovered, and have been built into the new east wall of the south aisle:

the north aisle is entirely new, and both arcades, as well as the chancel and vestry roofs, have been reconstructed :

there are 140 sittings.

The churchyard has twice been enlarged by gifts of land.

The registers date from the year 1670.

The living is a rectory, with that of Dunsby annexed in 1929, joint net yearly value £630, with residence, in the gift of the Governors of the Charterhouse, London, first turn and Mrs. MacMorran, second and third turns, and held since 1923 by the Rev. Frederic Stanhope Worsley, of Magdalen College, Oxford"
