St Andrew's church is at Plot No. 1 (shaded in purple) and was dedicated to St Andrew in 1316 after having been rebuilt entirely from its foundations. These foundations can be dated to A.D.1100 from various MS, but may well be of earlier date when Burnham was a Royal Manor of King Alfred, who in his will, bequeathed it between his son Edward the Elder and his nephew Athelme. It has been considered unlikely for such a King as Alfred; perhaps the most Christian monarch that England had so far enjoyed, to have not provided a building for his subjects where they could practice their religious beliefs.
