1. Art


The Altar Frontal was designed by Jane Lemon and is based upon Herbert‘s poem "The Flower". The poem itself is to be found in a frame on the south wall, in caligraphy by Mary Hargrave, a parishioner.



The 'Festal' vestments were also designed by Jane Lemon to complement the frontal, and were dedicated in 1993. The unusual colouring means that they can be used all the year round, rather than being kept for a single season.		The 'Penitential' vestments were designed by Andrew Kelly in 1999, and given in memory of Mrs 'Netta Cochrane, a devoted worshipper at this church. They were designed to complement the 'Festal' set, being more appropriate for Advent and Lent.


	The memorial window to George Herbert, was installed in 1933, to mark the 300th anniversary of his death. The right hand light shows Herbert holding his violin, in front of Salisbury Cathedral, while the left hand light shows his friend and publisher Nicholas Ferrar.

2. Music


As S^t. Andrew's is very small, it is not suitable for concerts, but is the ideal venue for small 'intimate' illustated talks. It has been used for illustatrated talks on Plainsong, and for quiet devotional evenings on George Herbert, accompanied by live instrumental music. Sung services are accompanied with a small electronic organ.
