Brief description
"A rare temple-style church by Robert Adam
St Andrew's is an eighteenth-century church in the form of a Classical temple, tucked away in the landscaped parkland of Gunton Hall. The effect of suddenly coming upon a Palladian portico through the trees is dramatic. It was designed by the leading Scottish architect of the 18th century, Robert Adam, whose designs were influential across the world. It is Adam's only complete church in England.
The interior of this neo-Classical gem has a clean, calm simplicity, but with the richness of decorative moulding on the ceiling and elegant dark wood furnishings. Although the grounds of Gunton Hall are private, there is access to the church which is signposted beyond the Hall."
