Site of St.Andrew's church

St.Andrew's church was built 1846-7 and consecrated in November 1847 with pews to seat 190 worshippers, though the growth of Woodhall Spa outstripped the church and a new church dedicated to Peter with capacity for 500 worshippers was built in 1893. St.Andrew's church survived unscathed until 1943 when it was structurally damaged by a parachute mine explosion and was eventually demolished in 1957. This stone in the churchyard marks the site of the altar and records its construction in 1847 and demolition in 1957.
