"St Andrews today is a small pretty church situated in the center of Carlton restored after it was burnt down in 1764 with a mixture of both stone and brick and was dedicated to St Michael Then in 1867 another restoration took place undertaken buy Goddard and Son. The restoration involved both altering the windows and adding a saddleback top to the tower.. The building was Gothicised and its dedication was then changed to St Andrew. In the Northern Wall of the nave there is a stained glass window picturing the angels Michael and Gabriel created in the 1920s by Theadora Salusbury. In 1937 the clock tower was bought through the efforts of the rector's daughter selling needle work door to door, and this needlework continues as some of the villagers produced some commemorative pieces in order to celebrate the Millennium."
