- Northover, Somerset (St Andrew's Church)
Just north of Ilchester over the River Yeo, St Andrew’s is a simple Medieval church next to a farmyard. It was restored in 1878 by Charles Benson.
Its site close to a large Roman cemetery beside the Fosse Way, is of outstanding archaeological importance.
An excavation of the mound on which it stands could well reveal the foundations of a Saxon minster noted in the Domesday Book and perhaps reveal signs of an earlier pre-Christian/pagan temple.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
There are difficult steps up from the pavement.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
