A Brief History of St Andrew’s

• St Andrew’s is a Grade 1 Listed Building, with 13th century Norman stonework and a 13th century stone effigy.
• The 14th century saw the addition of a north aisle. Further alterations and additions followed in the 15th century (when the tower was added), and also in the 16th century.
• Considerable restoration work was undertaken in 1888, and then again in 1900, when 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 the early 1960s the Nave was refurbished with new oak pews upon many of which have been attached restored medieval carved bench ends.  
• In 2018/19 the Font was relocated to enable the creation of a social area and kitchen.
• Standing proudly on high ground overlooking historic Stratton, St Andrew’s has served the needs of Christians in the area for over 750 years.
