St Andrew's Church is half church and half ruin. Both date back to 1493 when the parish was rich and the church large, but in 1538 the parish lost its tithes and the new church fell into decay. Eventually, in 1695, half the church – now the ruin - was dismantled and sold off to pay for the other half to be rebuilt. In the 1930s, fragments of 15th and 16th Century stained glass were found during an excavation of the ruin. They are now in the south wall window.
