Weaverthorpe - Church of St Andrew

Weaverthorpe YO17 8ES

URPoint Details

The Church of St Andrew is a good Norman building with a tower reputed to be a mix of late Saxon and Norman. The chancel is separated from the nave by a Norman arch. The font is probably Norman. Above the south door of the nave is a sun-dial, with a part-illegible fragment of an inscription in Saxon characters, claimed as reading: " In honore Sancti andre - Herbert W.... Hoc Monasterium". It has been claimed as a memorial to Herbert de Winchester (died 1120/1130) who built the church.

The church was listed as Grade I in October 1966
