Landmark church on the Roach Valley Way, St.Andrew's, Ashingdon following restoration work Image On the marshlands which then lay below the hill upon which the church stands, was fought the legendary battle of Assandune (AD 1016), where the Danish king Cnut defeated the then "King of England", Edmund Ironside and went on to fail to hold back the tide. Cnut is said to have financed the construction of St. Andrews in 1020 in thanks for his victory.
