Wellingham: St Andrew
Welcome to St Andrew's Church Wellingham.
We are a small rural Norfolk Church, here to serve God & our community
Deep in the heart of Norfolk there is no precise date for the founding of St Andrew's Church, but the experts believe that the nave was built by the Normans and the chancel was added in the 13th century.
The first firm date in St Andrew's history is 1304, when its first rector is recorded.
We have completed the current work on the windows and are very grateful to have received grants from the Norfolk Churches Trust, The Geoffrey Watling Trust, The Benefact Trust; and the Bishop of Norwich Fabric Fund towards towards the repairs.
