Church of St Andrew

About

St Andrew's Church is a parish church in Oakington, England. Parts of the thick walls of the nave above the arcading, and the base of the tower in the church are the earliest surviving parts of it, likely from the 12th century. The church was rebuilt in the 13th century, with the addition of a narrow south aisle with tiny lancet windows, and larger ones in the chancel.

In the 14th century, the tower was heightened, and the aisles and chancel arch were widened. The tower arch was widened in the 15th century. The south porch and the present roofs were built in the 19th century along with the enlargement of the east window.

The church building is a grade II* listed building. A Church of England parish church, it was dedicated to St. Andrew in 1490, and the parish register of baptisms, marriages and burials dates from 1561; it is virtually complete, with a gap 1696-1708.
