St. Andrew's Church, Weston-under-Lizard is an Anglican Church, part of the Watershed Benefice in the Diocese of Lichfield.
The origins of the church are medieval, but it was largely rebuilt in the very early 18th century by Elizabeth Wilbraham of Weston Park, and restored in the 19th century, firstly by George Edmund Street and then by Ewan Christian.
Plans were drawn by Lady Elizabeth Wilbraham for the restoration of St. Andrew's Church in 1700. They are believed to be the first architectural plans to be drawn by a woman. (
