Pevsner in 'The Buildings of England: Leicestershire and Rutland says of St Andrew's Church: "A most lovable church, small, in a small village off the beaten track, and full of curious features and furnishings."

W. G. Hoskins in 'A Shell Guide to Rutland' says of St Andrew's Church: "The church is not a grand sophisticated building like so many in Rutland: Quite the contrary. It is an enchanting simple English country church, yet full of interesting things. Externally it looks mainly Perpendicular (15th century) except for the thin west tower (13th century)."

He mentions the Digby tomb seen here in the chancel: "The tombs of the Digbys, who lived at Stoke Dry from the middle of the 15th century to the early 17th, are very notable...In the chancel a splendid alabaster tomb with the recumbent figures of Sir Kenelm Digby (died 1590) and his wife Anne (died 1602) Standing against the tomb the delightful figures of their sons and daughters."

Finally Hoskins adds: "So often American friends ask to be taken to "a real English country church". Stoke Dry is the sort of little church one would gladly show off in this way."
