About
St Andrew's is known as the 'non-conformist cathedral'. Its 175 ft high spire towers above the South Cliff of Scarborough. Built in 1864 for the Revd. Robert Balgarnie, it was funded by Sir Titus Salt, of Saltaire and other local investors. Built in Early English Gothic style, St Andrew's contains some fine examples of Wailes' stained glass. It is also home to heritage chapel with a large archive, a detailed model of medieval Scarborough. The exterior of the church is open during daylight, and the interior is open at various times during the holiday season.
