Church of St Andrew, Medieval church in Castle Combe, England
St Andrew's Church features substantial stone walls, prominent tower, expansive nave, and two chapels on the north-east and south-east sides of the building.
The church construction started in the 13th century, with the tower added in 1434 using funds from medieval wool merchants and Sir John Fastolf's will.
The effigy of Sir Walter de Dunstanville in the Lady Chapel displays crossed legs, indicating his participation in two separate Crusades during his lifetime.
The church remains open to visitors throughout daylight hours every day of the year, offering postcards, prayer cards, books, and religious items for purchase.
At the tower's base stands one of England's oldest functioning clocks, created by a local blacksmith, featuring a mechanism without a face display.
