A few seventeenth century stone mullioned windows remain. St Andrew's Farmhouse is now used as offices.

Lulworth St Andrew, anciently a manor, but now only a farm, was mentioned circa 1288 and 1303 and was probably one of the "Lolowordes" mentioned in Domesday. <1>

St Andrew's Farmhouse of two storeys with stone walls was built on a long rectangular plan in the 17th century. The central porch is dated 1759 and there are additions along the back. <3>

St Andrew's Farm (SY 836810), mentioned by Strode circa 1628, and so called from 'a church which stood there dedicated to St Andrew' (see SY 88 SW 13). Manor of 'Lulworth St Andrew' mentioned 1302, 1430 and 1502. <4>
