Church Of St Lawrence

The Church of St. Lawrence is a Grade I listed former parish church, now redundant, dating from the 15th century. It is constructed of flint with stone and brick dressings, featuring ashlar facing on the clerestory, and has slate and lead roofs. The church includes a west tower, a nave and chancel combined, north and south aisles, and porches. There is a south rood-stair turret and a north-east vestry.

The tower is three stages high, with four stages of diagonal buttresses. The west door is notable for its carved spandrels depicting St. Edmund being arrowed and St. Lawrence being grilled. A large recessed four-light perpendicular west window includes inward-facing statue niches in the reveals. The south side features square sound holes with a clock face, and there are two-light belfry windows. The tower is topped with two-step battlements, corner pinnacles, and a spirelet at the stair turret.

The aisles are five bays long, with an additional half bay for the chancel. A plinth course displays shields and flushwork. The south aisle has a two-storey porch, and the aisle windows are four-light perpendicular style, with the two eastern windows showcasing more elaborate cusping and flushwork below the cill. There are eleven tall three-light clerestory windows and a late 19th-century perpendicular east window, along with east and west windows in the south aisle.

The north porch is two-storey with tracery on the outer doors and features a central statue niche flanked by windows on the first floor. There are blocked east and west windows. Inside, the church has a lierne vault, octagonal arcade piers with concave sides, and two-centre arches. The chancel aisle piers are distinguished by four shafts with shallow hollows in the diagonals, and the aisle windows are set into wall arches. The hammerbeam roof is supported by long wall-posts resting on angel corbels.
