# St Andrew, Shifnal

St Andrew's is a Grade I parish church on Church Street in Shifnal, Shropshire, in the Diocese of Lichfield: a large cruciform church of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, altered after a fire in 1591 and restored in 1876-79 by Sir George Gilbert Scott.

## Overview

Historic England lists the Church of St Andrew (list entry 1367657, designated 26 May 1955). The listing records a parish church of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, with alterations in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and after a fire of 1591, restored in 1876-79 by Sir George Gilbert Scott. Fabric is random coursed sandstone, ashlar and old tile roofs. The plan is cruciform, with a late-thirteenth-century central tower of three stages with a battlemented parapet and pyramidal roof, a four-bay chancel with south chapel and north vestry, and a four-bay nave and aisles with a south porch. The south porch has a tripartite vault with moulded ribs. The south transept retains a blocked twelfth-century doorway of two orders of shafts with shaft rings and carved capitals.

The church stands on the north side of Church Street in the centre of Shifnal. A chest tomb about one metre south of the south chapel is listed separately at Grade II. The parish website is the church's own site.
