This church has a Norman chevroned chancel arch, 14th-century tower, 15th century chancel and a 16th-century spire. Unusually, the nave was refashioned in Victorian times with red brick outer facing walls and round-headed windows. This feature was hidden by ivy in 2003 Image

St Andrew’s Church at Twyford is a tiny church, built by the Knights of St John for travellers crossing the River Trent at Twyford Ferry. It features a Norman chancel arch and base of the tower, a 13th century chancel and nave constructed in the 18th century (http://derbyshirechurches.org/church/twyford-st-andrew The Church of England Diocese of Derby). The church is located in a peaceful spot less than two hundred yards from the River Trent, which bursts its banks two or three times a year, but the church has never been flooded (http://www.trentderwentparishes.org/#!twyford-history/c2jh Trent & Derwent Parish Churches). However it has been damaged by lightning which struck the spire in 1821 and a fire in 1910 which destroyed all the pews, and the pulpit, as well as the plaster then on the nave walls, and the wooden ceiling.
