St Andrew's, Bonby, has an eighteenth-century brick tower and a chancel of the same material.

The nave, Norman in origin, is partly constructed in chalk.

The thirteenth-century north arcade has gone though evidence for it remains.

The chapel, in Main Street, was erected by the Wesleyan Methodists in 1813 and is a Grade II listed building.

Services were last held here in 2002 and it stands in derelict condition today. The faded noticeboard alongside the entrance still advertises service times and contact details for the circuit minister.
