After a mess up with directions on a saturday explore decided to go for a walk with Miss CSI on sunday and see this lovely old church, been before and love it every time I see it. :)

Heres some history:-​

St.Andrew's church is a partly redundant anglican church in covehithe suffolk, it's grade I listed. Part of the church is in ruins and is under the churches conservation trust. It stands on a lane leading to the sea, which has suffered significant ongoing coastal erosion. The eldest fabric in the original large medieval church dates from the 14th century but most of it from the 15th century. During the civil war of charles 1st much of the stained glass was destroyed. By the later part of that century​

the large church was too expensive for the parishioners to maintain, they were given permission in 1672 to remove the​

roof and to build a smaller church within it. The pews were 15th Century and the pulpit is 17th century.​

Enjoy the pics:-​

Hiya SuzyQue nice write up your pics aren't showing though, you need to use img tags from photobucket then copy and paste them to your report, then the images will show, beautiful pics though !

If you need any help pm me and I'll see if I can talk you through it
