St Andrew's Church, Medieval parish church in Presteigne, Wales.

St Andrew's Church features a substantial bell tower, extensive nave, north aisle with Saxon elements, and south aisle connected to the main structure.

Originally constructed in the 9th century by Anglo-Saxons, the church underwent Norman reconstruction after Welsh attacks damaged much of the structure.

The church displays a 1510 Flemish tapestry depicting Jesus entering Jerusalem, one of two medieval tapestries remaining in British parish churches.

The church holds Sunday morning services at 11 AM, offering both informal family gatherings and formal Holy Communion following Common Worship traditions.

Despite its location in Wales, the parish voted in 1915 to remain part of the Church of England, with 595 votes against 289.
