The address is for the adjacent Ship Inn. St Andrews Aldborough (old borough) is a handsome parish church, the third to have stood on the site, dating from 1330. It is packed with history and replaced Church No 2, which had been destroyed by the Scots. The original church is believed to have stood on the site of the Roman Temple of Mercury, close to the Forum, in the Roman town of Aldborough, Isurium Brigantum. Stuck in a corner of the church between a medieval pillar and a list of Aldborough’s vicars since 1316, is a small collection of Roman stonework, including a relief believed to depict the god Mercury found nearby. Of interest to horologists, St Andrews claims to possess the longest church clock pendulum in the country!
