It is dedicated to Saint Andrew, and is situated at the junction of St Andrew's Road and Maple Road.

The church was built in 1871–72 by Sir Arthur Blomfield, at a cost of £6,602, and consecrated in 1872.

The money was put up by Angela Burdett-Coutts, of Coutts Bank.

[3] The tower was added in the early 20th century, at a cost of £1,400, as a gift of thanks to the then Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) following his recovery from an illness.
