St Andrew's Church, Eakring, Notts.
The Grade II* listed Parish Church on the east side of Kirklington Road is seen here on the approach into the centre of the village. The current building dates back to the C13th, the oldest part being the tower which has a C13th base and a C15th top storey. The building was restored in Elizabethan times, next in the C17th century on the instruction of the Rev. William Mompesson, who widened the nave and added the two porches, and then again in 1881.

St Andrew's Church
A church was recorded on this site in the Domesday Book of 1086, probably wooden. The earliest stonework is in the lower part of the tower, dating from the 13th century. The chancel was added in the 14th century and the top of the tower is 15th century Gothic style. Restoration took place in the 16th century and again in the 17th century, when William Mompesson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Mompesson widened the nave and added the north and south porches. In 1881 further restoration took place, with the vestry being added to the design of J.P. St. Aubyn.
The stone is Mansfield limestone and skerry from the quarry at Maplebeck. Purple sandstone from Hollington in Staffordshire was used in places for the 1881 restoration.
