St Andrew's Church is a Church of England parish church in Haughton-le-Skerne, in County Durham. The church is a Grade I listed building.[1]
History
The church was originally built in the 12th century and restored in the 15th century. In 1795, it was expanded with the addition of transepts, a vestry and a south porch. Notable original features include Norman windows, pews, a pulpit and lectern that date to 1662 (the year of the Act of Uniformity), and a 15th-century font cover.[1] It is one of the oldest church in the county.[2]
Present day
From 1993 to 2009, St Andrew's was associated with a church plant in a local school: having been closed because of a lack of leadership, the plant merged back into St Andrew's.[2]
