St Mary and St Andrew is the parish church of Whittlesford, combining early medieval origins with later additions and a distinctive rural presence.

The church includes a 12th century nave and tower, followed by 13th century rebuilding and major 14th and 15th century expansion, including aisles, chapel and spire.

Set within a traditional churchyard, it reflects the layered architectural evolution typical of Cambridgeshire parish churches.

Today, it serves an active congregation and is open regularly, combining heritage interest with ongoing parish life.
