ST ANDREW'S CHURCH, BOLTON ON DEARNE

The nave of St Andrew the Apostle at Bolton on Dearne is Saxon in origin, with one slit window still surviving high in the South wall.

The two blocked Saxon doors in the South wall have been superceded by medieval, and subsequent windows. It shows an example of Saxon long and short work which is very rare in this part of Britain.

The chancel and northern extension are probably early 14th century, but both seem to have 17th century alterations to the windows.

The tower was probably built in the 15th century, but contains the resited remains of a very significant Saxon frieze, rebuilt out of order. The clocks occupy the space of earlier plain square headed openings.

In the 19th century the North chapel appears to have been rebuilt, and the vestry added.
