St Andrew's Church, Grade I listed church in East Heslerton, England.
St Andrew's Church is a place of worship in East Heslerton combining Gothic Revival and Italian design influences, with a spire reaching 32 meters (105 feet) in height. The building displays both structural and decorative elements that reflect its Victorian-era construction.
The church was completed in 1877 under the design of architect George Edmund Street, commissioned by Sir Tatton Sykes of nearby Sledmere House. It replaced two earlier structures that had previously occupied the same site.
The interior contains Victorian furnishings, including an ornate altarpiece showing the Te Deum and stained glass windows by Clayton and Bell. These works reflect the artistic taste of the period and shape how the space feels today.
The church is open daily from 10 AM to 4 PM and can be entered through the lychgate steps. Parking nearby is limited, so arriving early or finding alternative spots elsewhere is advisable.
The stone carvings on the exterior depicting Saints Ambrose, Augustine, Gregory, and Jerome originally came from Bristol Cathedral. These works were relocated here and now form part of the building's external decoration.
