Description of Archaeology and History
It was built to replace the Park Chapel (latterly known as Emmanuel Chapel) which had been proprietery since the late 18th century. The architect was the firm of Sir Arthur Blomfield and Sons, and the completed building was consecrated in 1913 - Sir Arthur Blomfield himself had died in 1899, but the church may have been designed before his death as a Building Committee was forced in 1897 and plans laid before it in 1900.
Exterior Description
The building is of red brick with stone dressings and consists of a four-bay nave, a shallow chancel with an organ chamber on the north and a chapel on the south, a south-vest tower and western narthex.
From an architectural point of view the most important feature of St. Andrew's church is its tower and spires not only is this a good feature in itself, and better than any designed in the same office, but it is an important feature of the street - beautifully in seale with the buildings on the same side of Park walk and forming a much needed foil to the blocks of flats on the opposite side.
