"There has been a school in Butterwick for a very long time.

In 1665 Anthony Pinchbeck left seventy-four acres of land to a group of people who were charged with the task of administering the land, renting it to farmers and using the rent to provide a grammar school for all the boys in the surrounding area and a house for the headmaster.

On October 23rd 1876, under the Endowed Schools Act, the endowment of the school is devoted to Elementary Education - no longer a grammar school.

The old building was to be adapted as an infant and girls' school and a new school built for boys"

St Andrew, Butterwick, is a 'delightful amalgam of stone and brick' (Thorold *).

It has a Georgian brick tower and Tudor brick clerestory, but the rest is much patched-up and rebuilt with some Early English work.
