St Andrew is the fourth church to have been built in Walberswick. It is tucked into the south west corner of the third church. The first church stood in Chapel Field, now in the marshes, it was dismantled in 1473 but all traces did not disappear until the 18th century The second church was built on higher ground and originally had no tower which was not added until shortly before the demolition of the second church. The third church was completed in 1493. In 1696 the materials of the dismantled third church was used to repair and restore the south aisle and porch to form the church we see today.
