Welcome to St Andrew's Church

Friends of St Andrew's

Events this year have been very successful. Read about our activities and the funds we've raised for the church.

The Friends are a voluntary group who provide a network for those who love our church and help to raise funds for it's restoration. You may perhaps have a loved one buried in the church yard, or just wish to support the church. If you would like to join the "Friends" and support their work please contact me.

One of the many flowers found in the Churchyard

The Churchyard

Part of the churchyard is a wild flower conservation area, left largely unmown during the summer months. Over 40 species of native plants have been found here.

The churchyard has been extended to allow burials to continue here for the foreseeable future. At the moment it's a beautiful wildflower meadow.
