St Andrew’s Buxton

The church consists of a west tower, nave, chancel, north and south aisles with chapels and a south west vestry. Construction is of flint, with limestone dressings and some brick. The chancel is 13th Century, the aisles, nave and north chapel 14th Century. The tower, south porch and south chapel were added or rebuilt in the 15th and 16th Centuries, when new windows were placed in the rest of the church. 19th Century restoration included rebuilding the tower and south porch, and adding a north porch and a vestry.
The churchyard dependent wildflower species include germander speedwell, common sorrel, meadow saxifrage and ox eye daisy. A hedge runs along the western and northern boundaries with the following species: elm, blackthorn, ivy, box honeysuckle, snowberry, and cherry. There is impressive yew topiary near to the south porch.

Habitats
