January 28, 2026, St Andrew's Church, Prestwold

St Andrew’s Church is a Grade II* listed, primarily 13th-century medieval building located on the private Prestwold Hall estate, owned by the Packe family since 1653. It serves as a rare remnant of the original medieval village, having survived major renovations in 1743 and 1890, the latter of which remodeled the nave in the Gothic Perpendicular style.

Prestwold Hall, a Grade I listed country house, has been the seat of the Packe-Drury-Lowe family for nearly 400 years since its acquisition by Sir Christopher Packe in 1649. Rebuilt in the 1760s and extensively remodelled in the 1840s by architect William Burn in a neoclassical Italianate style, the hall features grand, opulent interiors and scenic 18th-century parkland. In the 20th century, the estate became a pioneer in opening historic homes for corporate entertainment and weddings.
