About this Church

A church with ancient foundations

Just north of Ilchester, over the River Yeo, St Andrew's Church is a simple medieval church next to a farmyard. It was restored in 1878 by Charles Benson.

Its site - close to a large Roman cemetery beside the Fosse Way - is of outstanding archaeological importance. An excavation of the mound on which it stands could well reveal the foundations of a Saxon minster noted in the Domesday Book and perhaps reveal signs of an earlier pre-Christian/pagan temple.

To make a donation to Northover Church text 'NOV' to 70191 to donate £10. Thank you.

Access information

Parking for several cars in the nearby laybay. The church is approached through a metal gate and up two sets of stairs. The west door cannot be opened by key so please use the smaller entrance on the north east side to access the church.

When the church is closed please collect the key from Auto Capozzoli, which is next to the Texaco petrol filling station (left side of road going towards Ilchester) 

Facilities & Hire

Northover Church is available to hire for events and is a unique and beautiful venue.

Due to its historic nature the church has no heating, running water or toilet facilities so thought needs to be given for events longer than a couple of hours (e.g. portaloo hire).

Northover Church does have electricity.

The maximum capacity of this church is 60 including performers, volunteers and staff.
