context_section_description: Helpringham Grade I listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Andrew. Pevsner regarded it as "fine" and Cox as "handsome... [with an] exceptionally fine tower". Originating from the 13th century with later additions and adaptions, it was restored in 1891 by Hodgson Fowler following a roof collapse in 1890. The church is completely ashlar-faced. The tower is of Decorated style with a Perpendicular crocketed spire attached by flying buttresses, and pinnacles set in battlements. The north side of the chancel houses a mural brass to Antonie Newlove, patron of the vicarage, died 1597. The circular font is from 1200 and the rood screen 17th century, and parts of an architectural Norman frieze are on the south wall and north-east corner.
  The church appears on a Royal Mail stamp issued on 21 June 1972 as part of a set on British Architecture (Village churches).
