The Church of St Andrew, Northover, in Ilchester, Somerset, England, dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building,[1] and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] It was vested in the Trust on 1 July 1986.[3]

The church stands close to the River Yeo and on the site of an earlier Roman building and associated cemetery next to the Fosse Way.[2][4] It was also the site of as minster church in the Saxon era,[1] when it was held by Glastonbury Abbey. After the Norman Conquest it was held by Maurice, Bishop of London, until was appropriated by St. John's hospital, Bridgwater, in 1219.[5]
