St Andrew's Church, Pixley Much of the church building is thought to date from the thirteenth century. It is built of local red sandstone on a mound which until fairly recently was surrounded by a moat. The church was extensively restored in 1865. Additional repairs were carried out in the 1980s and again in 2005 when the roof and Victorian turret were renovated.

Inside St Andrew's Church, Pixley The little white-washed nave is divided from the white-washed chancel by a screen, its entrance arch (only six feet high) made of naturally curved timbers from some great tree. The screen has three bays and the cross-beam has a patch of neat carving; So have the roof beams which match these venerable timbers. There are no iron nails in the screen, which is fastened together with pegs.
