The Remains Of The Church Of St Laurence

The remains of the Church of St Laurence are located in Kings Newnham and date back to the late 12th century, with some upper stages possibly rebuilt in the 16th century. The structure features squared coursed limestone with red sandstone dressings, and the first stage includes some brick patching. It has an old tile pyramid roof and consists of four stages, with a splay between each stage. The north side has a slit window on the second stage, while the east side features a round arch, partly made of yellow brick. The roofline of the nave is clearly visible. The third and fourth stages have irregular quoins, with the third stage showcasing tall, narrow, chamfered 2-light mullioned windows on each side, although the mullion on the east side has been removed. The fourth stage also has 2-light double-chamfered mullioned windows on each side. A fragment of the nave wall, made of sandstone ashlar, is approximately 5 metres long and 1 metre high. The rest of the church was demolished in 1797.
