A Look Back in Time
The church was built a long time ago, around the year 1160. It was built in the Norman style. This style uses thick walls and round arches. In the 13th century, more parts were added. These included a side section called a south aisle. A tower was also built at this time. In 1862, the main part of the church, called the nave, was made longer. This work was done by J. C. Buckler.
The Church Today
Today, St Andrew's Church follows a "liberal Catholic" tradition. This is a way of worship within the Church of England.
