St Andrew's Church, Covehithe St Andrew is a ruin now. All that remains is a vast curtain of walling, which is almost complete. It dwarfs the tiny later church within the shell. This church was rebuilt during the 15th century, and an earlier tower was incorporated. This tower still survives today. The rest of the church, however, was derelicted in 1672 by the local people. This was not out of any malicious intent; rather, the upkeep of such a great church placed too great a burden on such a tiny village at a time when public worship was a low-key and rather sober affair. They got permission to remove the roof, and built the much smaller church against the west tower. The tower is a very fine one, and was once an important landmark for ships at sea. Trinity House once ensured its survival, but nowadays the tower is in the care of the Redundant Churches fund, as are the ruins. The church itself, however, is not redundant, and still maintains regular services.
