St Andrew's Church is a church in Whissendine, Rutland. It is a Grade I listed building. [3]
The church is one of the largest in Rutland [2] and has a perpendicular tower. The earliest parts of the church date from the 13th century. [2] [4] [5]
The tower is 14th century, [6] and evidence suggests that it could have been used as a watchtower. [4] [ dubious ]
The 14th-century font was defaced at some point. The clerestory was built in the 15th century [7] but was so heavy it caused the nave pillars to shift. Strengthening arches were built to stop the building from collapsing. [4] A statue to St Barbara, by Edwin Lutyens stands in the north aisle. [4]
The early 16th-century screen to the Lady Chapel was brought here from the old chapel of St John's College, Cambridge during the 1867 – 1870 restoration by George Gilbert Scott [3] who had recently built the new college chapel. [2] [4]
A wall memorial to Lady Abigail Sherard is in the chancel. It was found in several different pieces and had to be put together again. [4]
