The church of St. Andrew, consisting formerly of chancel and nave only, was rebuilt and enlarged in the year 1864, with the addition of a north aisle, south porch. organ chamber, and vestry on the south of the chancel, a chapel and western tower containing a peal of 7 bells and a clock with the Cambridge chimes; the architect has contrived, n,ost ingeniously, to combine in one building the styles of various periods, it being the wish of one liberal benefactor to this work that the east end of the chancel should be erected in what was supposed to be the style of the original edifice, destroyed many years ago, viz. Early English; this has been carried out in a very beautiful three-light lancet window, decorated with stained glass; the north side is Early Decorated; the south is in the Perpendicular, but all combine harmoniously, while the interlacing of Bath, Bishop's Lydiard and Hamden Hill atone in arches and windows,the decorations of the chancel with marbles from Devonshire and Cornwall, and an exquisite reredos of Caen stone, ornamented with pillars, bosses and interlayings of marble, form a good specimen of modern art; there are sittings for 600 persons.
