Ogbourne St. Andrew is a small peaceful village located between Swindon and Marlborough.  St. Andrew's church is over 700 years old so has a long history - the church has its own website, this link will take you to its History page, but there are plenty of other pages too:  ogbournestandrewpcc.org/church-history.

The church is normally kept locked but one time we visited two church members arrived and invited us in to take photographs to go on this website.  Although we didn't have very long inside we are very grateful to them for putting up with us as we wandered around, trying not to get in their way as they continued with their own tasks.  Perhaps our photographs were timely too, as we heard of a desire to open up the church to make it more useful to the community and if that were to happen, changes to the inside would be needed.  When we returned in April 2026 we could see these changes were taking place.  It will be good to return when all the work is complete and go inside to update our photographs.

The church of St. Andrew is a Grade I listed building - more information about the listing can be found at the  Historic England  website.

An information board tells us within the churchyard there is a very rare Bronze Age Barrow and over a larger area is a medieval agricultural complex.  It tells us this site has at least 3,500 years of human history.
