The parish Church of St. Andrew dates back to 1832 when
work began on the present building. St. Andrews is classical in style,
preferred by Catholics at the time, as it echoed the Baroque of the Roman
tradition rather than the Gothic Brava favoured by the Anglicans. The
designers and decorators were John Boulger, James Lever and Francis
Johnston.
The exterior of the church is comprised of a Doric portico
which is crowned by a statue of St. Andrew in Portland stone, sculpted by
Edward Smith. There is an octagonal bell-tower, with a green copper
cover.
