St Andrews, Aller

The Church of St Adrews stands on a low hill, which was once a small island in the wet-lands and the location of the original settlement of Aller. After the moors were drained by the monks of Glastonbury in the 14th entry Aller was no longer an island and the village moved first to the lower slopes of Aller hill and then back towards the church.

It is probable that the first church was established on this site in 878 to mark the place where King Alfred the Great stood sponsor for the baptism of his former enemy, Guthrum, who's leader of the Danes in Wessex, together with twenty-nine of his senior officers.   People have worshiped here since that time.

There is currently one service a month on the first Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Everyone is Welcome.

St. Andrews is a Historic England Grade 2 Listed Building
