About Us

The first rector here at St Andrew's was presented in 1268, and Bishop Grandisson dedicated the altar in 1333.

Originally, the church was at Fallapit and the hub of the village was nearby at Tolditch. However, the village gravitated to it's present location, with the church now on Church Hill overlooking most of the village and countryside beyond.

St Andrew's was rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries, and major renovations and rebuilding were possible in the 19th century generously sponsored by William Cubitt of Fallapit House.

The church is open daily to visit, and for private prayer and meditation, from 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. Please take photos if you wish - no flash photography please.
