The church was restored in 1873 by William Butterfield. It contains some 15th-century stained glass and an altar table of 1631. The chest tomb in the chancel is believed to be to Sir Thomas Cheddar and is dated 1442.[1]
The tower, which rises to 100 feet (30 m),[2] and dates from around 1423,[3] contains eight change-ringing bells, the tenor of which dates from 1759 and was cast by Thomas Bilbie of the Bilbie family.[4] The oldest bell dates from circa 1580.[5]
St Andrew's is the Church of England parish church for Cheddar. The Rector is The Reverend Stuart Burns, who was licensed as priest-in-charge in February 2016.[6]
