History of St Andrew’s church, Middleton-by-Pickering

St Andrew’s probably dates back to pre-conquest, 11th century, in fact the lower part of the west tower shows all of the signs of having been built then.  However, the nave was re-built and the North aisle was added in about 1130, these are in the Romanesque (Norman) style.  Late in the 12th century, the South aisle was added, the tower and chancel arches were re-built and the tower was given an upper stage.  Early in the 13th century, the chancel was re-built, however only the north wall remains from this phase.  Late in the 13th century, both aisles were demolished and re-built.  The next major phase was during the 15th century, when the nave clerestory was added.

As of September 2008, St Andrew’s Middleton-by-Pickering does not appear to have a website.
