The church is surrounded by the old churchyard, which contains the remarkable gravestone and memorial of the famous art critic and social reform critic, John Ruskin, who refused to be buried in Westminster Abbey and chose to be buried in his beloved Coniston.

St Andrew’s Church was built in 1819 and replaced an earlier church of 1586 built by William Le Fleming. The chancel and the low bays were added in 1891.
