The present parish church, built in 1802, stands to the south of the former church, which was taken down under the provisions of an Act of Tynwald passed 1800. Mr A.W. Moore supposes that the dedication to St Andrew is likely to date from the period of Scottish rule (1275-1334) but the Scandanavian and Celtic cross -slabs found here almost certainly suggests an early Celtic church, with which there would have been a burial ground.
