The Parish Church of St Andrew, Finghall,[note 1][2][3] is the parish church for the village of Finghall in North Yorkshire, England. The building is on the site of a much earlier Anglo-Saxon church and has some remnants of that era incorporated into the building, though the present structure dates back only to the 12th century. The church is nearer to the hamlet of Akebar than it is to Finghall, which is 0.5 miles (0.8 km) to the south, because the church was originally in a medieval village that was deserted when ravaged by plague. The building is now a grade II* listed structure and is still used for worship.
