ABOUT ST.ANDREWS PARISH CHURCH - PICKWORTH

St.Andrews is an extremly ancient church with many
differing dates for various parts of the building and the
objects within. The south door is 600 years old and
directly opposite the north door, known as the devil's
door, which was left open at a baptism, so that the evil
spirit could lose itself in the shadows of the north side
of the Church. Now though it is blocked up to keep out the
cold and draught. The Font has been in use for 700 years
and there is a 600 year old painting of St.Christopher
above the

north pillar, it was believed by those setting out on a
journey that the mere sight of this picture would save them
from every peril of the roads on that day. A Consecration
Cross has survived on the east wall which is believed to
date back to about 1358. The benches in the Nave are 14th
century and the Nave Rood Screen is mediaeval. The double
deck pulpit is dated 1693 and has an hour glass stand !
The altar rails are dated 1767 and the altar table early
17th century. The chest is about 300 years old and the
registers are unusually early: dating from 1538. There is
also a fine statue of St.Mary Magdalene which dates back to
about 1380. It was found in the 1960's in a blocked up 13th
century window near the tower and it now stands on its
original brackets near the Rood stairs, but is missing it's
head, left hand and right foot. (Did someone break it I
wonder and that is why it was hidden away !)
