St. Andrew's church Westfield
Image: © Adrian S Pye Taken: 1 Jul 2009
A quite ordinary church dating from the 14th and 15th centuries which has lost its chancel and has a heavily buttressed east wall. The clean uninterrupted roof-line has a quite modern appearance. The tower, and that too has been rebuilt to some degree, has a pinnacle at each corner and shows no sign of there one being a steeper pitch to the roof. The flushwork on the otherwise unremarkable 15th c. porch is quite conspicuous. Inside the church all is austere and simple with a plain octagonal font and whitewashed walls. The pulpit is hexagonal from floor to top, and is certainly unusual and appears Jacobean. Otherwise there is little of interest here and it is sad that it is not left open to visitors. Although there is a keyholder listed.
