Rushmere St Andrew?s church

There are two Rushmeres, easily confused but they couldn’t be more different. The alignment of this church is northeast / southwest. The lovely ‘Norman’ south doorway has twisted columns and a chevron arch of two orders. However, it, like most of the church, has been totally restored. The pinnacles on the 16th century tower were copied from the weather-beaten originals. The church is built on Norman foundations and there is Norman work in the columns of the nave. It has a modern church room protruding from the chancel and sheds of various descriptions around the north side. This is a lovely church, the appearance of which has been marred by lack of consideration for the aesthetic value.
