St Andrews Church, Church Road

This church of 1858 was designed by T.H. Wyatt, cost £2,353, and used parts of the old church Image that were of architectural or historic value, including glass, parts of the porch and memorials. The west and south west windows now contain fragments of 13th century grisaille (greenish gray) glass from Salisbury Cathedral. This had been removed by James Wyatt in 1788, broken up and thrown into the city ditches. It was painstakingly collected by Canon Stanley Baker, vicar of Laverstock, who placed some of it in Laverstock church in 1933. He is buried in the churchyard here. The parish registers from 1726, other than those in current use, are held in the Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office.
