St Andrew's church, Darmsden, of a random cobble construction with freestone dressings. This building appears to be of flint, knapped flint, and fieldstones.
"Parish church, 1880, by Herbert Green of Norwich. On the site of a mediaeval church of similar form. In the Decorated Gothic style. Nave, chancel and south porch. Rounded random flints with parapet gables and dressings of limestone. A gabled bellcote of stone surmounts the west gable, with a bell dated 1710, beneath is a rose window and a west doorway. The plaintiled roof has arch-braced collar-beam trusses, alternating with unusual trusses in the form of a trefoil with braces springing from diagonal pendants. Richly carved oak reredos. The two panels with Commandments and Lord's Prayer are probably of C18 or early C19. A good and complete example of a modest High Victorian church with well-designed fixtures and fittings."
