History St Andrew's Church is among Surrey's most important buildings, listed by English Heritage at Grade 1 and has a heritage going back to the 12th Century when Thomas a Becket was Archbishop of Canterbury. Reposing behind the red brick and bustle of central Farnham, the church is the heart of the town, and a centre for worship, nurture and community activites.
