St.Andrew's Church is a fine example of Edwardian architecture. The church was built within twelve months with construction starting in October 1907 and being completed in October 1908, when a grand consecration ceremony took place with the Bishop of Osaka, Japan deputising for the Bishop of Winchester, who was indisposed.The church was built on land donated by Lady Shelley, wife of Sir Percy Florence Shelley (son of the famous poet) and replaced an iron church. The funds required were raised by public subscription and the cost was £8,000, although a further £500 had to be raised for furnishings.
