St Andrew’s Church stands in a peaceful setting on Stock Lane and has been a focus for worship and community life in Landford for generations.
The present church was built in 1858 to the design of William Butterfield, one of the leading architects of the Victorian Gothic Revival. It is now recognised as a Grade II* listed building for its particular architectural and historic importance.
A Special Place in Landford
Although the building we see today is Victorian, Christian worship on the site has a much longer history.
Elements associated with the earlier church survive within the present building, including the distinctive stone carving of St Constantine and St Helena above the entrance. The church also contains memorials reflecting the long association of the Eyre and Nelson families with Landford.
Inside, Butterfield’s architecture gives St Andrew’s a character quite unlike that of many village churches. Its proportions, craftsmanship and warm brickwork make it an intimate place for worship and reflection, as well as an attractive setting for music, talks and other appropriate community occasions.
The church and its churchyard remain an important part of the historic landscape of Landford, within the New Forest National Park.
