Church Of St Lawrence

The Church of St Lawrence is a parish church that was rebuilt in 1878 by Robert Wheeler of Tunbridge Wells, incorporating some materials from the old church. It features Kentish ragstone with red plain tiled roofs and scalloped ridge tiles. The church has stone parapet verges and a tiled and shingled steeple. The structure includes a nave, chancel, a gabled north porch, and a lean-to south vestry. It has a held plinth, a band below the windows, and buttresses at the corners.

The east window consists of three trefoiled lights with tracery above, featuring two central arched heads and a label over. The west window is similar but has four lights with a cusped circle at the apex. On the south wall of the nave, there are two two-light windows with quatrefoils above, and one similar window on the north wall with different tracery. The chancel has two single-light windows with cusped heads on the north wall and one similar window on the south wall. The lean-to vestry on the south wall of the chancel has a two-light window on the east wall and a vertically boarded door on the south wall.

The gabled north porch has a parapet and a moulded two-centre arched doorway, with a vertically boarded door featuring ornate strap hinges. Inside, the chancel has a vaulted and ceiled roof with a simple wall plate. There is a chamfered two-centre arched doorway leading to the south vestry. The stone four-panelled reredos is inscribed with the Creed and the Lord's Prayer. Wrought iron columns support the altar rail, and there is a chamfered two-centred chancel arch.

The nave features a double side purlin roof with bolted moulded arched braces to the lower collars and stop-chamfered armless crown posts to the upper collars. The timber octagonal pulpit has a chamfered stone base and steps. A moulded band runs through both the nave and chancel. The 19th-century octagonal font has a moulded and chamfered rim, with nail head decoration at the angles, a twisted stone central column, and four black and red marble angle columns on a composite moulded base. It is topped with a carved octagonal timber cover, supported by the tails of four dolphins holding the Ark and Dove. There is also a probable 14th-century piscina with a moulded and chamfered two-centre arched head and a round drain.
