Priestwood is a suburb of Bracknell, Berkshire about 1 mile (1.6 km) northwest of the town centre.
The original Church of England parish church of Saint Andrew was simple Gothic Revival building designed by the architect H.G.W. Drinkwater and completed in 1888.[1] After its centenary the building was demolished and replaced with a new church that was consecrated in April 1990. St. Andrew's was part of the Bracknell Team Ministry.[2] St Andrew's has been part of the Warfield Church family since 2014.
Bracknell Methodist Church is also in Priestwood.[3]
