The Church of St Andrew is the newest of the three churches of The Valley, as although parts of it date back to Saxon times, it was seriously damaged by fire in the 1930's. As a result, much of the nave, chancel and sanctuary were rebuilt, and a new East Window was installed. At the same time, a Compton Organ was placed in the Organ loft. The churchyard is closed for burials and is managed by West Dean Parish Council.
We hold regular services on the 3rd and 4th Sundays of the month. The 4th Sunday service of Holy Communion is a said service, followed by Children's Church. We would love to see you one day, when you can be sure of a friendly welcome, and real coffee.
