More about this scene
St Andrew's Church is pleasant enough to look at, but fussy in its numerous outlines. It is mostly Perpendicular, but has a 13th-century chancel wall and a Decorated north chapel. Most of the church was demolished and rebuilt, faithfully, in 1850. The west tower, which was begun in 1434, has diagonal buttresses, decorated with buttress shafts and relief pinnacles, panelled battlements and a spire for a stair turret. On the chancel arch there are portal statuettes standing under canopies and leaning up the arch. Flying buttresses separate the chapels from the aisles.
