Background
History
St Andrew's was built as a Presbyterian church between 1857 and 1860, was later used as a United Reformed Church. The architects were J. and J. M. Hay, with James Harrison. In 1866 an entrance front was added, paid for by Robert Barbour of Manchester and Bolesworth. The body of the church was rebuilt in 1884 by Kelly and Edwards.
Architecture
The church is constructed in yellow sandstone and brick. It is partly rendered, and has slate roofs. Its orientation is reversed from the usual. Its plan includes aisles with clerestories. The entrance front includes an arched doorway with a lancet window to the left; in the storey above are two two-light windows and a gable. To the left of the gable is an octagonal bellcote with a stone spire, and to the right is a crocketed pinnacle. There is a rose window at the liturgical east end. The body of the church is in five bays, each bay of the clerestory containing triple lancets.
