Church of St Andrew

St Andrew's Church is the parish church of Boynton, East Riding of Yorkshire, a village in England. A church in Boynton was first recorded in the 1120s.

The tower is built of stone and the rest of the church is in brick with stone dressings, and a tile roof. The church consists of a nave, a chancel and a west tower. The tower has three stages, a moulded plinth, diagonal buttresses, string courses, and a two-light west window incorporating a doorway. On the south front is a canopied niche with a statue. Above are two-light bell openings with hood moulds, and an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles. Inside, there is a font which is believed to be 12th century, but which was retooled in the 18th century.
