The Grand Arcade excavation report (2019) has an interesting history of St Andrew’s p359f. The original name of the church was St Andrew without Barnwell Gate; the parish lay both inside and outside the King’s Ditch and was founded mid-late eleventh century. By the C16th the church was in a ruinous state and was rebuilt in the 1660s. However the entire church was demolished in 1842 and the modern Neo-Gothic structure built. Burials ceased in 1857 and the church was declared redundant in 1984 before being revived as the Round Church at St Andrew in 1994.
