St Andrew's Church, Wood Walton

The limestone church features a four-bay nave, clerestory, north and south aisles, and a west tower with diagonal buttresses spanning multiple centuries of construction.

The original church mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 underwent significant expansion in the 13th century with the addition of the south aisle.

The structure contains preserved medieval glass fragments in the east window and Victorian glazed tiles decorating the sanctuary walls and floors.

The church opens to visitors during Heritage Open Days in September, with access available from 2 PM to 5 PM on specific weekend dates.

Located in isolation among fields, the church stands visible to approximately 15 million annual railway passengers traveling on the East Coast Main Line.
