Tomb of Lady Margaret Goband, St Andrew's church
In the Liber Regis, published in the Reign of Henry VIII this Parish is called Repingale or Repyngale, and described as a Rectory named St Andrew’s, originally divided into three parts which were consolidated into one united Rectory in 1725.
The church, dedicated to St Andrew, consists of a Nave, Chancel, South Aisle, South Chantry Chapel dedicated to St Anne, and Tower. The architectural character of the church belongs to different periods. The six piers and arches which divide the nave and chancel from the south aisle and chantry chapel are of the Early Decorated period. The tower, which contains six bells, is a good example of the Perpendicular period.
The screen made of oak with the richest of details is Perpendicular in style and once supported a “Roode Lofte” which was taken down and destroyed in 1561.
Monuments and effigies include:-
The remaining recumbent figure of two cross-legged knights believed to represent either Sir Guy or Sir Goband, former lords of Repyngale, who it is supposed founded the Church in 1259.
