"This church building is often locked but a key is available nearby. There will be a notice in the church porch with details of where the key is held.

St Andrew's Church is a rural church accessed via a grass track, situated on the Kilverstone Estate. It has a Norman round tower built in the 10th or 11th century with the main body of the church built in the 13th century. Notice outside the church in the north wall the original piscina for the altar in the north aisle, now disappeared with the north porch. On March 9th 1735 a great storm blew the lead off the north aisle roof as well as devastating the tiles on houses in the village. In 1906 the church was thoroughly restored by the Lord of the Manor, Josiah Vavasseur Esq. which saw the replacement of the chancel roof with red tiles. A new oak pulpit was erected, a new organ installed and a new black and grey chancel floor was laid. A reredos of Caen stone with onyx panels and Italian mosaic plaque of the Good Shepherd was also installed. This small church has a surprising number of memorials, many to members of the Wright family. Admiral of the Fleet John "Jackie" Fisher (d. 1920) is buried in the churchyard. He assisted with the evolution of the Royal Navy from wooden ships to steel ships including battlecruisers, submarines and the first aircraft carriers. Admiral Fisher lived at Kilverstone Hall for the last nine years of his life."
