Listed Building record MDO9404 - St Andrew's church, West Stafford

A parish church of 15th century origin, with a 16th century tower. Nave and chancel with no structural division, south porch, west tower. The main body of the church was rebuilt in 1640 and the chancel was extended in 1898 by C Ponting.

The W. end of the S. wall of a 15th-century nave remains. Early in the 16th century the West Tower was built; central on the E. wall of the tower is the apex of the weathering for a former nave roof indicating that the 15th-century nave was narrower than the present nave and that the tower was built central to it. In 1640 the Nave and Chapel were rebuilt on a simple rectangular plan and without structural division between them; at the same time the South Porch was added. In 1898-9 the present Chancel was added, the chancel screen was moved eastward and the chancel of 1640 became part of the nave. <2>
