Services and Worship
There are two monthly services: a Family Service at 11 a.m. on the second Sunday of the month, and a Holy Communion Service at 11 a.m., held on the fourth Sunday. We also have a Christingle and Carol service and Communion on Christmas Day and Easter Sunday. The church has seating capacity for 100.
History
St Andrew’s is listed Grade II and was built in 1772 on the foundations of a much earlier church noted in the Doomsday survey in 1086. Recent archaeological digs in the churchyard extension have found evidence of Anglo-Saxon metal working.
The Friends of St Andrews are a group of villagers who help support the maintenance of the church building. The Friends hold a very enjoyable quiz every year, help run the Harvest Supper and run a Christmas Bazaar, all in the Village Hall. Funds raised go towards projects which help maintain the church building and keep it as a valued village resource for all to use.

Prayer
Saint Andrew, you were the first to follow Jesus Christ and dedicated your whole life to his service. May we be inspired by your steadfast faith to become life-long and courageous disciples of Christ, wherever that may lead us.
