St Andrew's has a fine ashlar-faced chancel of c.1230–40, a five-bay aisled nave with later 13thc. arcades and a W tower with two plain 12thc. windows in its W wall. The plain jambs of the tower arch are 13thc., but the arch itself is four-centred. The nave has no clerestorey now, the one built in the 15thc. having collapsed in 1792. The chancel walls show evidence of Micklethwaite's 1886 restoration. They are of ashlar at the top, and brick (N), pebble rubble (S), or incongruously pebble-dashed (E) below. Micklethwaite would surely accept no blame for the last. The nave is of pebble rubble, restored by Scott in 1870–75, and the tower of ashlar. The nave has N and S doorways, the S under a porch, the N giving access to a modern church hall on this side. Inside the church are a 12thc. grave slab and a plain font.

In 1066 the manoir was held by Eadgifu the Fair, said to be the mistress of King Harold II, and in 1086 it was held by Count Alan Rufus, 1st Lord of Richmond and was rated at 7 hides. At Alan's death it passed to his brothers, the youngest, Stephen, inheriting in 1093. He died in 1035 and it passed to his son, Alan, who died in 1146 and then to his son Count Conan (d.1171). The larger part of the manor was held in demesne by the Richmonds until the early-13thc.

RCHME dates the tombstone c.1200, but finds the upper part 'more crudely cut than the foliation', and suggests later re-use of the slab. Bradley dates the coffin lid with foliate decoration to the late-12thc. and suggests that the head with praying hands is a later addition of c.1300.
