Brief description

Church of St Andrew, A Grade I Listed Building in Allington, Wiltshire

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boscombe,_Wiltshire

"A church at Boscombe was mentioned in the 12th century, and the thick walls of the chancel and nave of the present building may survive from that period.[3] The church, dedicated to St Andrew since at least 1763, is built of flint with ashlar dressings; the square bell-turret at the west end is clad in shingles. The chancel roof and nave windows are from c.1500, and the transverse north aisle (now used as the vestry) was added c.1600. Restoration was undertaken in 1709 and the east wall was rebuilt in 1755.[13] The nave was re-roofed in the 19th century and there was further restoration in 1936–8. The church was designated as Grade I listed in 1958.[14]

The crudely carved stone font may be from the 12th century,[13] and has a 17th-century cover. The wooden pulpit was installed in 1633, then repositioned and provided with a tester in 1709; a small window was added nearby to light it. The box pews may also have been installed in 1633 but were reworked in the 19th century.[14] The bell-turret had two bells but only one remains, cast in 1676.[3]"
