The Church of St Andrew in Clevedon, Somerset, England. Parts of the original 12th-century church remain with 14th- and 15th-century additions.[1] It is on a hill overlooking the Bristol Channel, and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.
The church was built on Anglo-Saxon foundations.[2]
It is the burial place of Arthur Hallam, subject of the poem In Memoriam A.H.H. by his friend Alfred, Lord Tennyson.[3] [4] The exterior of the church includes a carving which may be a Sheela na gig.[5] The Anglican parish of Clevedon is part of the Portishead deanery.[6]
St Andrew's was used as a filming location to depict the local parish church in all three series of the popular crime drama Broadchurch.
