St. Andrew's Church and College, Bradfield, Berkshire, 1865. '...there were no traces of any very ancient buildings remaining in 1850, except in the Church of St. Andrew and in the old ruined walls on the slope to the south of the church, which were parts of a large manor-house of the thirteenth or fourteenth century. On the foundations of some of these ruins there has recently risen a picturesque structure, designed to meet modern wants, with the name of St. Andrew's College, and to last, as most people hope and believe, for centuries yet to come - a monument of the spirit which has stirred in our times for good progress in various ways...In 1848, the Rector [Thomas Stevens], who is also lord of the manor, and a chief proprietor - owning all the village of Bradfield - restored and enlarged, and rebuilt in great part, the old parish church of St. Andrew, under the kind advice and direction of his friend Mr. George Gilbert Scott. Many critics of architecture have thought this one of Mr. Scott's happiest efforts at a parish church restoration'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
