Summary Description

St Andrew’s church was built between 1860-62 by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The church is an unusual example of Scott making extensive use of polychromic brickwork and is believed to show how the architect William Butterfield influenced Scott's work. The church has a cruciform plan with a lower apsidal chancel and south porch. To its north the parish room (the former Godber Memorial building) was built in the angle between the north transept and the nave of the church. This opened in November 1900. To the north again is a late twentieth century community hall.

Visiting and Facilities

The church is open for worship.
