St Andrew's Church is a 13th-century parish church that stands as a testament to Castle Combe's long history. Its most famous treasure is a rare 15th-century mechanical clock that has no face, it strikes the hours but never shows the time. The church also features fine stained glass windows and a peaceful interior with ancient stonework. Visitors can admire the clock mechanism and imagine medieval life when time was heard, not seen.

Don't miss

  • The 15th-century faceless clock, one of the oldest working clocks in England
  • Stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes and local history
  • The ancient stone font and carved wooden pews from centuries past
