Third of the churches I visited in West Berkshire and sadly another that was locked but on the bright side I found out when it was open so I will try and revisit. There is a bit more history below on Wiki
The Church of England parish church of Saint Andrew consists of a chancel, nave, north aisle, north-west vestry, south porch and a west bell tower. The chancel may be Anglo-Saxon, and an Anglo-Saxon window was discovered in a wall of the church in 2011.[13] The Jacobean pulpit dates from 1618,[14] the font from about 1662[14] and the west tower from about 1692.[15] Much of the church was rebuilt in the Victorian era and in 1841 the north aisle was added.[15] However, the arcade between the nave and north aisle was probably by John Oldrid Scott and Sons in 1908.[15] The building is Grade II* listed.
East end, the north aisle looks like it was added at a later date

Around the north east and an even later addition that looks like it might hold a restroom

The east window
Which is where I spotted these headstops
Inside the porch which is as far as I got.
Churchyard beside the path
Right over in a corner of the churchyard
This is another corner east of the church

Over the north side of the churchyard you find this small garden wit a seat that you can go in. Not a lot this week but I will try and revisit when the church is open.
Till next time may I wish you all a peaceful week
