St Andrew, Aldborough :: Shared Description

St Andrew's is a grade I listed Anglican parish church in the village of Aldborough, North Yorkshire (not to be confused with the similarly named village of Aldbrough). List entry 1173835.

The oldest part of the present building is the North chantry chapel founded 1333 by the Dean and Chapter of York Minster to replace an earlier Norman church destroyed by the Scots in 1318. The north aisle is c.1360, the nave with its clerestory 15th century, the south aisle later (and rebuilt 1827).

The site itself is much older, being part of the Roman town of Isurium (now a scheduled ancient monument site). It is believed that some Roman building material was re-used in the tower.
