Listed Building record MDO5164 - Parish Church of St Andrew, Todber

Parish church of St Andrew (the dedication is recent, the original dedication is unknown). Originally fifteenth century but almost entirely rebuilt in 1879 for Elizabeth Marchioness of Westminster in squared, coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and tiled, gable-ended roofs, with stone copings, some medieval masonry in lower stages of tower.

'(1) THE PARISH CHURCH (dedication unknown) consists of Chancel, Nave and South Tower; the chancel and nave were rebuilt in 1879. A window of two trefoil ogee-headed lights reset in the N. wall of the chancel is of the 15th century origin. The tower was largely rebuilt in 1879, but the walls appear to be partly mediavel; they are of rubble with ashlar dressings. The archway on the S. has a chamfered two-centred head and continous jamb. Above, at the level of the belfry floor, two weathered string-courses are reset, one on top of the other
