Harrison's description (1911):

ST. ANDREW. The old parish church retains but little of the original edifice, having been nearly rebuilt in 1836. Externally, with the exception of the porch, it is new work. There are, however, two rows of fine pillars and arches of Tr.-Nor. style. The capitals appear to have been re-carved, but the arch mouldings of the nave arcades are original, and the church also retains its fine oaken tie-beams. In the churchyard lie the remains of Admiral Westphal, who, when wounded at the battle of Trafalgar, was laid by the side of Nelson, whose coat was placed as a pillow for his head. Charlotte Elliot, the authoress of several well-known hymns, is also buried here. There is a tablet to the memory of Copley Fielding, the painter. Reg, (All Saints) 1539.
