Church Of St Lawrence

The Church of St. Lawrence is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period. It is constructed from flint and some iron-bound conglomerate, with brick and stone dressings, and features a thatched roof. The church includes a west vestry, a nave, and a chancel, along with the remains of a western round tower that now serves as a vestry. A 19th-century stone belfry is present, and there are remnants of the tower stair with conglomerate quoins at the northwest and southwest corners.

The nave, which has been widened to the south, consists of three bays and is supported by diagonal buttresses. On the south side, there are two three-light windows featuring alternate stone and flint voussoirs above and panel tracery, which were restored in the 19th century. A blocked doorway on the north side may be made from re-used stone, and there is a square-headed two-light 19th-century window. The chancel has a 13th-century lancet window to the south, showing evidence of earlier openings, along with a two-light 19th-century window and two lancets to the north. The east window features three lights with intersecting tracery.

A buttressed south porch is located at the first bay of the nave, with blocked windows on the east and west sides. The porch doorway has a continuous chamfer, with corbels inside the arch supporting a fillet and roll moulding, along with a hood mould above. There is a niche above a two-light cusped window with quatrefoils under a square hood mould. The gable is stepped and made of 16th-century brick, with a re-used stone head at the apex. The nave doorway has thin shafts and features a medieval door with a restored stoop beside it.

Inside, the church has 19th-century roofs. The tower arch is from the 12th century, with stone imposts and a large pointed niche beside it. The chancel arch is simple, with impost moulding. The interior includes box pews that are ramped at the back of the north side, a medieval screen with 18th-century upper parts, and an 18th-century communion rail. The west wall displays carved arms of William and Mary. An octagonal font features quatrefoils in panels on its base and cusped blank panels on the bowl. A coffin slab with a cross is located at the west end, and the pulpit is made from 17th-century pieces.
