Tucked away in a loop of the River Severn, St. Andrew's church has altered little in form since it was built in the early 13th Century.
The three stage Perpendicular embattled tower was added later. The font dates from the 15th Century and is octagonal and is decorated with two quatrefoils in panels over a trefoil with arcading below. There is a heavy 19th Century trussed rafter roof in the chancel.
The three-light east window shown here is divided by slender stone shafts.
