Church of St Andrew, Anglican parish church in central Chippenham, England
St Andrew's Church occupies a central location next to the Market Place, with a 14th-century tower rising above the surroundings. The interior features a long chancel separated from the main space by a modern screen added in the 20th century.
The church was built on Anglo-Saxon foundations in the 12th century and underwent major changes in the 15th century. A south chapel was added in 1442 as part of these significant reconstructions.
The church maintains two singing groups, the Robed Choir and St Andrew's Singers, which perform regularly during different Sunday services throughout the month.
The church sits in a central location that makes it easy to reach and explore alongside other local attractions nearby. Regular events happen throughout the week, so you can choose a time that suits your interests.
The organ inside contains original pipework from 1752 made by Brice Seede, representing centuries of musical craftsmanship. Its three manuals and 46 speaking stops demonstrate the complexity of such instruments from that era.
