Welcome to Claxton St Andrew Church, which has stood on this site since Anglo-Saxon times. We are open everyday and welcome visitors to our churchyard which is maintained as a peaceful and natural setting and has recently been awarded a Bronze Eco-Award by the A Rocha environmental charity. The church building dates from the eleventh to nineteenth centuries and offers a quiet, simple space for its many visitors.
