St Andrew's, Wood Walton

Due to structural issues, this handsome church is rarely open to visitors. However, it is no longer friendless: a tireless group of local people have tamed the churchyard, tidied the interior of the church and raised interest in the building. They have been indispensable allies in securing the future of St Andrew’s.

In terms of architectural history, the tower dates largely from the reconstruction of 1860, but substantial areas of the shell and much of the interior are medieval. A particularly striking feature of the interior is the disparity between the south arcade, which is Early English in date, and the north arcade, which is distinctively Perpendicular in its use of shields on the capitals. Contents include a collection of early stone coffin lids and fine Neo-Classical monuments in the chancel.

Volunteer stewards will be present to guide visitors and provide information.

St Andrew's, Wood Walton is cared for by the Friends of Friendless Churches, a charity which rescues and repairs historic places of worship.
