Church of St Lawrence and Bishop Edward King

The Church of St. Lawrence and Bishop Edward King is a parish church dating from 1862, designed by James Fowler of Louth. It incorporates some materials from an earlier church. The church is constructed of dressed stone, with ashlar facing, some in red, yellow, and blue brick, and has slate roofs. The gables are coped, with single ridge crosses to the east of the nave and chancel, featuring decorative ridges. Buttresses rise from a chamfered plinth. The church consists of a nave, a west bell turret, a south porch, and a chancel. The octagonal bell turret projects to the west, supported by a single buttress, and is topped with a spirelet incorporating a single tier of four lucarnes and a corbel table of ball flowers. The turret has two stages; the west side features a single ogee arched and cusped light, supported on a pair of colonnettes with decorative capitals. Above are four ogee arched and cusped lights, with those on the north and south sides partially blocked by small buttresses. The west nave has two arched windows, each with a single light, cusped tracery, a hood mould, decorative label stops, and finials. A continuous sill band runs throughout. The north nave has a single arched two-light window with pointed tracery, a hood mould, and decorative label stops. The east chancel has a single arched three-light window with cusped tracery, a hood mould, and decorative label stops, also with a continuous sill band. The south chancel has a single arched two-light window with cusped tracery, a hood mould, and decorative label stops. The south nave contains two larger, similarly styled windows with hood moulds and label stops. The south porch features a moulded arched entrance, a hood mould, and decorative label stops. The inner doorway is also moulded, arched and has a hood mould and decorative label stops, surmounted by a flush arch of polychromatic brickwork.

The interior is of red brick with flush yellow brick bands and polychromatic brickwork to the window arches, except for the east window of the south nave, which is ashlar. A yellow and red brick chancel arch is supported on ashlar colonnettes with shaft rings and decorative capitals. The arch of the east window is similarly supported. A 14th-century octagonal ashlar font with quatrefoil panels is present, along with an ashlar pulpit. Two 18th-century floor slabs remain. There are good alabaster wall memorials, including one to Julyan Llanden (1617), with a coloured shield and a small, coloured, kneeling female figure carved in low relief. Another memorial is to William Llanden and his wife (1631), also featuring a coloured shield. A wall tablet to Revd. Willm. Tyler (1808) is surmounted by an urn.
