Heritage Open Day: A spectacular church glimpsed by hundreds from the East Coast train line each day, but a church few have seen inside. 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.
