St Andrew's Church is a partly redundant Anglican church in the hamlet of Covehithe in the English county of Suffolk. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building,[1] Part of the church is in ruins and this is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] The church stands on a lane leading directly towards the sea, in an area of coast which has suffered significant ongoing erosion.[2][3] The parish of Covehithe has been combined with neighbouring Benacre.[4]
