History:
King Canute ordered, St Andrew's, "a church built of lime and stone for the souls of those slane" in the Battle of Assandune 1016. It was dedicated in 1020 at a ceremony at which King Canute and his officers attended. This battle was the decisive battle for the throne of England. Much of the church is now a 13C rebuild with a 14C tower. The rubble walls contain Roman tiles and there are Saxon timbers in the tower.
The peaceful churchyard has extensive views over the Crouch valley, to Southend and on a clear day the wartime Thames Estuary Forts and the new windfarm off the Kent coast.
The church is open every afternoon 2-4pm from Easter to end of September when stewards are in attendabce and will offer information, aswer questions and even offer tea and biscuits.
