St Andrew's Church, Stratton

A brief history

• St Andrew’s is Grade 1 Listed, with 13th Century Norman stonework and a 13th Century Effigy.
• The 14th Century is noted for the addition of a North Aisle with further alterations and additions in the 15th (the Tower was added) and 16th Centuries.
• Considerable restoration took place in 1888 and in 1900 a Vestry, with a cellar beneath, was added to the North of the Lady Chapel. The present wooden Rood Screen was completed in 1907, replacing the 16th Century screen removed by order of Henry VIII.
• In 1982 the floor of the Ringing Chamber was raised to provide a Robing Room for the Choir and a quiet retreat for young children during Services.
• A new Vestry was built in 1998, along with a small kitchen area and toilet. The old vestry is now used for meetings and the Sunday School.
• Standing proudly on high ground in Stratton, St Andrew’s has served the needs of Christians in the area for over 750 years.
