The present building dates from 1430 and
is built in entirely in the Perpendicular style, the last of the
great periods of English Gothic architecture. The tower and
Lane's Aisle were later additions, However, a church has stood
on the site since Saxon times. Subsequent to the Norman Conquest
(1066) it belonged to Battle Abbey in Sussex, then to the Priory
of St Nicholas at Exeter who were the Patrons until the
Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536. The church was once
dedicated to St Mary as patron saint. The change of name to St
Andrew took place in the fifteenth century.
