Welcome to

St Andrew’s Church, Walberswick

The church seen today stands in the remains of the south aisle of a substantial Grade 1 listed church, originally built between 1473 and 1493 onto an earlier tower.

St Andrew's was once a much larger church, similar in style to Blythburgh and Southwold churches. When this larger church fell into a state of disrepair in the 18th century the people of Walberswick decided to downsize and to create a new smaller church, better suited to their needs.

Today the visitor can see a functioning parish church set within the unique and beautiful ruins of its predecessor. The church is open every day for quiet prayer and exploration
