"The Parish Church of St. Andrew, near the middle of the village, has walls of Greensand ashlar and lead-covered roofs. The lower stages of the West Tower are of the second half of the 15th century. The Nave, South Aisle and South Porch are probably of mediaeval origin, but they were rebuilt in c. 1862 and no original work remains. The Chancel, North Vestry and North Aisle are of 1862. When the N. aisle was built a carved parapet of 1530 was transferred to it from its former position on the old S. aisle and S. porch . The architect for these works was G. Evans of Wimborne."
