Welcome to our Church. We extend a warm invitation to any who want to visit us or join us for worship.
St Andrews Norton is an ancient church which was probably built on the site of a saxon church. The tower and Chancel date from the 14th century. During the 15th century north and south aisles were added and new windows placed in the south wall, which together with the south porch built at the same time, completed the fabric of the building that we see today.
