It is believed the first church on this site dated from the sixth century. In 1261 the church was rebuilt and dedicated to St Andrew, the nave was then rebuilt in the 15th century and the tower was added in the 16th century. There are 5 bells in the tower the oldest dating from 1684.
Coryton is a very small collection of houses along a country lane with the church lying on the north side of the lane. At the time of my visit the churchyard was rather overgrown.
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1261
