St Andrew's church stands isolated in fields north of Wood Walton village, which is located three miles east of the A1(M) in northwest Cambridgeshire.
On the top of the hill, St Andrew's churchyard is a tranquil place.
Surrounded by fields, only the occasional passing train breaks the silence.
A brief history
Although the Domesday Survey of 1086 recorded a church in the parish of Wood Walton, there is no evidence this early building was on the site of the current church.
The Church will be open to the public as part of Heritage Open Days 2024 from 2pm to 5 pm on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th September.
We're delighted to have been awarded over £38,000 from the government's #CultureRecoveryFund for repairing the pews in the nave and tiling to the chancel.
The fund, administered by Historic England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund is designed to secure the future of Britain's museums, galleries, theatres, independent cinemas, heritage sites and music venues with emergency grants and loans.
Thank you, DCMS and Historic England.
