owing to the continuing expansion of the parish, additional church accommodation was soon required. a vestry meeting in may 1891 considered enlarging st andrew's against building an additional church, and opted for the former option. plans were drawn up by mr. e. w. buckle of london and the £3,800 tender of mr. henry spiller accepted in april 1892. the new work included the addition of a south aisle, western porch, morning chapel and choir vestry. the church reopened on 14 july 1893, with the new sections consecrated by bishop bromley, assistant of the bishop of bath and wells, who was unable to attend due to ill health.
