Just inside the front door of the church stands a huge font which is thought to be part of a Roman column. The organ was originally built by Charles Brindley in 1849, but little now remains from that date. The knave is furnished with box pews, the pulpit is Jacobean and the altar rails are dated 1637.*

Thanks Anne, I am glad you enjoyed it
After yesterday’s story Cherie… i didn’t think that you got inside this beautiful church… the altar rails are dated 1637… she’s in great shape for her age…
these are five superb images….peter:)
St Andrew’s is a fabulous church
Second last window – looks like William Morris’ work.
It does have that look about it doesn’t it?
Amazing place, fantastic photos:) Greetings
Thanks Zielona, I am glad you like it
great shots. it is a simple, plain look church but the stained glass work is very pretty
It is a very old church that has been added to over the years. This type of church always has such interesting history.
I’d love to see it with my own eyes, but till then, yours will do nicely, Cherry! Thank you.
I think you would enjoy a visit there
I love the Jacobean era,although their furniture would not have been too comfy.
I don’t think comfort was in mind whilst sitting in church
Where do you still have on your list where you haven’t been?
My to visit list is longer than my visited list
Stained glass windows as good as ever from the fingertips.
Thank you
