Description

The Church of St Andrew the Less is a small church dating from the early 13th century, consisting of a chancel and nave. It is constructed from rubble with some dressed stone and was built by Barnwell Priory. The church underwent restoration between 1854 and 1856, and a vestry and organ chamber were added in the late 19th century.
