Minterne Magna Church.

Most people come to the village to visit the exotic gardens surrounding Minterne House. Standing beside the drive to the mansion is the pretty country church of St Andrew. There was a Saxon church on this site, and parts of that early building have been incorporated into the present chancel. The nave and chancel were rebuilt in the 15th century in a mix of rubble and flint dressed with Ham Hill stone. Around 1610 the north chapel was added, replacing an earlier medieval chapel. Unusually, the main doorway is in the west face of the tower and opens directly onto the road.
