Old St Andrew's Church

The church structure features rendered flint rubble walls, a nave, chancel, north vestry, and a turret topped with a distinctive spire.

Founded around 1150, the church incorporates Roman materials and underwent substantial modifications during the 14th and 15th centuries before restoration in 1840.

The church houses three medieval bells from 1350, 1604, and 1708, along with a 13th-century font and a lectern used by W.E. Gladstone.

Visitors need to contact Father Ioan Sarpe for appointments to access the church, which has limited facilities including heating and running water.

The churchyard contains six Grade II listed structures with notable 18th-century tombstones, including the grave of American painter Edwin Austin Abbey.
