Architecture

St Andrew's is constructed in sandstone with slate roofs, in Gothic Revival style. Its plan consists of a nave with a west baptistery, north and south aisles, a chancel with a polygonal apse, a north vestry, a south chapel, and a southwest steeple. The tower has three stages, with a west door, a clock-face, and two-light bell openings. On its summit is a broach spire with four lucarnes. At the west end of the nave is a four-light window and a quatrefoil. Along each side of the nave are two half-dormer windows. The north aisle is in four bays, each with a two-light window; the south aisle has three bays with two two-bay windows and one three-bay window. The windows in the vestry and the chapel all have two lights, and the apse has three three-light windows.^[2] Inside the church is an open timber roof. The reredos, and almost all the stained glass, is by Kempe.^[3]
