This is actually the church of Saints Peter and Andrew but it's more commonly known under the name of the latter. With the oldest section dating back to the start of the 14th century, this church has been standing for a considerable time. It has a drooping chancel, where the chancel arch is uneven. This style is thought to represent Jesus' head on the cross and is typical of Saxon churches, indicating that this building may stand on the site of an even earlier church.
