The Church of St Andrew was an Anglican church on Pontefract Road in Stourton. The church was consecrated on 23rd July 1898 and was closed around 1973 when the village (along with the rest of the Rothwell Urban District) was transferred to the Leeds Metropolitan Council and the residents of Stourton were displaced to turn it into an industrial area.
