History
The church was built between 1884 and 1887,[1][2] and consists of a chancel, a nave, aisles, an organ chamber, and a turret.[3] The parish was constituted in 1889 and the living was made a vicarage with a gross value of £200.[4]
St Andrew's stands in the Modern Catholic tradition of the Church of England.[5] As it rejects the ordination of women, the parish receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Ebbsfleet (currently Jonathan Goodall).[6]
