This parish church of the Church of England stands on the western edge of Coventry, surrounded by fields. A red brick building in the Gothic revival style, it opened in 1875, according to the parish website, which doesn't mention the name of the architect https://standrewseg.co.uk/information/history-of-st-andrews-church/ . Two Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) trees, otherwise known as Giant Redwood or Wellingtonia, were planted in the churchyard, on either side of the path from gate to church. One has been felled and only a huge stump remains. The other now towers over the church, and can be seen to the left of the steeple.
