St. Andrew's Church

The church of St André de la Pommeraye (St Andrews of the Apple Orchard) is one of the smallest in Guernsey and originally consisted of a nave and chancel only. There is little doubt that the walls of these date from the 12th century but, French slate now replaces the early wooden roof and the stone vaulting was added in the early part of the 13th century.

The north aisle and tower are 15th century additions, which more than doubled the size of the original building, but of the medieval fittings nothing now survives with the exception of the bowl of a piscine which is of an unusual design the only one of its kind in the Channel Islands.

The Priaulx Library holds microfilm copies of the registers of baptisms, marriages and burials from 1574 through the 1990's, although those for the periods 1599-1603 and 1616-1619 have not survived.
