History

St Andrew's was built in 1909–10, and designed by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley. It replaced a school and mission church of 1889, which had provided seating for 200 people, with a church seating 608, at a cost of £6,800 (equivalent to £700,000 as of 2019).[3][4]

Architecture

The church is constructed in rubble stone with ashlar dressings, and has a slate roof. Its plan consists of a nave and chancel under a continuous roof with a clerestory, north and south aisles, north and south transepts, and north and south porches. Rising from the northwest corner is a single bellcote with its long side facing north. At the west end is a canted full-height projection containing a five-light window, supported by two short buttresses. Along the sides of the aisles are two and three-light windows under flat heads; the clerestory windows have two lights under pointed heads. The east window has five lights.[2]

Inside the church is an open wooden roof, a wooden pulpit, a marble font, and reredoses behind the main altar and the altar in a side chapel.[2] The two-manual pipe organ was made in 1898 by J. J. Binns of Leeds.[5]

gollark: Huh, I did *not* know that `>>>` was a JS operator which existed.
gollark: I'm not sure if your "iterate through all the keys and try decryption" thing is broken somehow, I'm not really a cryptographer.
gollark: This is *also* used for authentication, so it actually might worsen security even if TLS is used too.
gollark: Too bad.
