# St Andrew, East Heslerton

St Andrew's is a Grade I redundant church at the south end of East Heslerton, North Yorkshire, in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust: a complete, unaltered church of 1877 by G. E. Street for Sir Tatton Sykes of Sledmere.

## Overview

Historic England lists the Church of St Andrew (list entry 1315728, designated 10 October 1966). The listing records a church of 1877 by G. E. Street for Sir Tatton Sykes, in sandstone ashlar on a chamfered plinth with polished grey stone columns. Roofs are tiled except the spire, which is of stone slates, with wrought-iron crosses to spire and chancel. The plan is a west porch, five-bay nave, south baptistry and north tower, raised chancel and vestry. An open narthex porch stands on columns with foliate capitals. The two-stage square tower has an octagonal bell-stage and octagonal spire; between the bell openings are four statues, originally destined for Bristol Cathedral, on carved brackets beneath trefoil-headed canopies. The listing states that the church is notable for being a complete survival of a Street design, without alteration and with fittings intact.

The present church is the third on the site. Victorian Web, citing Pevsner and Neave, gives a building date of 1873-77, replacing a modest early-nineteenth-century church, and names Aislaby sandstone. The church was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust on 8 October 2002. The lychgate, churchyard wall, cross and lamp, also by Street, are listed separately.
