St Andrew's Church is a Free Church of England church in , West Midlands. Three services are held weekly every Sunday at 10am, 11:30am & 6pm.

History[]

The church was built between 1884 and 1887,[1][2] and consists of a chancel, a nave, aisles, an organ chamber, and a turret.[3] The parish was constituted in 1889 and the living was made a vicarage with a gross value of £200.[4]

St Andrew's stands in the Modern Catholic tradition of the Church of England.[5] As it rejects the ordination of women, the parish receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Ebbsfleet (currently Jonathan Goodall).[6]
