Old St Andrew's Church, Grade I listed church building in Kingsbury, England
Description
Old St Andrew's Church is a flint stone structure in Kingsbury with a nave, chancel, and north vestry building forming its main components. A distinctive turret with a pointed spire crowns the roof and makes the building visible from a distance.
History
The church was founded around 1150 and incorporated Roman building materials into its original construction. Major rebuilding occurred during the 14th and 15th centuries, followed by extensive restoration work in 1840.
Culture
The church holds three medieval bells cast in different centuries along with a 13th-century baptismal font that visitors can see during a visit. These objects reflect the long spiritual life of the community across the centuries.
Practical
Access to the church requires advance arrangement with the priest, as it is not always open to visitors. Plan ahead and contact the clergy beforehand to arrange a visit at a suitable time.
