Church Of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is a Grade I listed building located on Low Road in Aldborough, Boroughbridge. The north chantry chapel was founded in 1333, and the church features a four-bay nave arcade and a north aisle dating from around 1360. The south aisle was rebuilt in 1827 in a similar style. The church has a 15th-century flat-arched clerestory, a low battlemented west tower, and a three-bay chancel with a five-light east window, all constructed from red sandstone and topped with a lead roof.

The nave arcade consists of octagonal piers with double-chamfered arches that intersect at the springing point, supported by vertical pieces on the abaci. The north side features hood moulds and large head stops. Inside, there is a panelled roof with bosses, which was restored in the 16th century. The north aisle contains stained glass with 14th-century canopies of figures that have not survived. Notable sculptures include a weathered Roman figure of Mercury and a 16th-century wooden panel depicting Daniel in the Lions Den.

Memorial slabs commemorate the Aldeburgh family from 1430 and 1475, the latter honouring William of Aldburgh, who was associated with the construction of the chancel, clerestory, and tower. There is also a well-preserved six-foot brass of William of Aldleburgh from around 1360, 18th-century pedimented wooden bread shelves, a communion rail dating from around 1700, and 17th-century panelling in the chancel that was brought from another location.
