Grade I listed.

In Saxon times, Langar was a place of great pilgrimage, and according to the Domesday book Langar "possessed half a church".
St Andrew's church was built around the 13th century.
The church is a cruciform structure, consisting of nave with clerestory, north and south aisles, south porch, north and south transepts, a central tower and chancel with a small north vestry.
In the 15th century the roof was raised allowing for the inclusion of a clerestory, which let more lights into the nave. The church was heavily restored around 1860 by Reverend Thomas Butler.
The nave dates from the 13th century, and has five bay arcades with round piers, the transepts being two bays long. Externally, most of the church is battlemented.
The porch is 15th century. The chancel contains little in the way of furniture. During the winter months services are held here and chairs are brought in from the nave.
The north transept has several monuments. There is a chest tomb to George Chaworth (d 1521) and his wife Katherine (d.1517). There is also a tomb for John Chaworth (d.1558), with two recumbent effigies of him and his wife. There are 15 children as weepers around the base.
There is also an effigy of Sir George Chaworth, died 1589, son of sir John, and other monuments to the Chaworth family who lived at Wiverton Hall.
The south transept has a monument to Thomas Scroope, Baron of Boulton, Masham & Upshail (d. 1609) consisting of a black and white marble monuments. He is shown lying, armour clad beside his wife Philadelphia with their only son Emanuel kneeling at their feet. He became Earl of Sunderland in 1627. There are further monuments to the Scroope family, Lord Howe the Elder and Lord Howe the younger, "Govenour" of Barbados.
