Hertford, GB
The origin and date of St Andrew's is not certain but some authorities believe it is the original church of Hertford, the parish being created in 860 AD. There is some evidence that a small wattle-and daub church existed, destroyed by the Danes in 894 AD. This was succeeded, possibly in the 12th century, by an apsidal church built of flint, plastered over, and consisting of a Nave, chancel and north and south aisles. This was rebuilt in about 1480.
