Name

Kirk Andreas

Description

Parish church on the northern plain. Home of Thorwald's Cross, which carries Odin being devoured by the wolf Fenrir on one face and Christ triumphant on the other — two religions on the same slab, the accommodation made literal in stone. The church also contains the only zodiac rose window in a British church outside Balsham, Cambridgeshire — a pre-Christian arrangement permitted by the diocese. Built on a keeill site dedicated to Columba.
