St Andrews is a partially ruined church by the sea in the hamlet of Covehithe. An Anglican church, its ruins are grand and well worth seeking out – it mostly dates from the 15th century although there are older sections.

In the 17th century, a smaller, cheaper-to-maintain church was built against the original tower, and this church is still in use today.

This is a beautiful piece of ancient architecture that is in danger of being consumed by the sea. So my advice is go see it while its still standing!
