St Andrews, Great Finborough

St Andrew's Church is situated in the village of Great Finborough, Suffolk, England. It is a Grade II listed building.^[1]

The church that stands today has been there since the Victorian period by Richard Phipson but there has been a place of worship on the site for over 1000 years. In 1086 the church as well as Finborough Hall were recorded in the Domesday Book.^[2] In 1558, the first records of births deaths and marriages were recorded at the church. In 1883 a small wall was built around the graveyard of the church costing £5. The roof was later damaged by lightning, and at another date the roof was damaged by gales at a cost of £10,000. The only original part of the church that still stands is the Tudor porch.

The spire nearly reaches 300 ft.^[3]
