Church of St Andrew, Banwell, Medieval parish church in Banwell, England.
St Andrew's is a stone building with a clerestory nave flanked by two aisles and a western tower rising approximately 100 feet (30 meters) with ten bells inside. The interior accommodates worshippers with clear sightlines and traditional proportions.
Construction began around 1450, though the western tower was built in 1417, and the bell casting spanned from 1734 to 1884. A Romanesque font from the 12th century survives within.
The church serves as a gathering place for Anglican and Methodist congregations that merged locally. People come here for worship and community events that shape local life.
Disabled access is available through the West Door for those with mobility needs. Parking is limited to a small number of spaces, so arriving early or considering alternative arrangements is wise.
A carved wooden rood screen dating to 1552 survives intact and remains visible to visitors. The western tower displays carved details including an Annunciation scene and stylized lily pots.
