Geocache Description:






St Andrews Halstead



1. 5210 HEAD STREET Parish Church of St Andrew TL 8130 NE 2/51 24.2.50.

2. Principally C14 and C15, much restored in C19 with west tower of circa 1850. Monuments, include tomb chests with effigies of the Bourchier family. One dated 1400 has richly carved canopy. Early C15 brasses. (R.C.H.M.1).

There is documented evidence of a church having been on the site of St. Andrew’s in the reign of King John (1199 -1216). In 1251, a Royal Charter was granted for a weekly market near to the church and Halstead’s growth was confirmed. In 1311, the Bouchier family became the most influential local lords and began a dynasty that was to have influence locally and nationally into the 16th Century. The greater part of the church - the nave, north and south aisles and the chancel, dates from the early years of the 14th Century. In the 15th Century there were the minor additions of the north vestry, and north and south porches. The physical look of the church then remained largely unaltered until 1850, when the west end was extended and the dominant tower was added.
