St. Andrew's Church is a special old church located in Skegby, a village in Nottinghamshire, England. It's part of the Church of England. This church is really important because it's been given a special status called "Grade II listed". This means it's a building with a lot of history or interesting design that needs to be protected.

Right next to the church entrance, you'll also find the Skegby War Memorial. This memorial is also "Grade II listed." It's a special place that remembers people who served in wars.
