Church Of St Lawrence

The Church of St Lawrence is a church dating from the early to mid-13th century, with a late 15th-century tower and a chancel rebuilt in the late 18th century. It is constructed mainly of uncoursed limestone rubble, with the chancel being coursed and the tower of dressed limestone. The roof is stone-coped and covered with gabled stone slates. The church comprises a chancel, nave, and west tower.

The one-bay chancel, dating to the late 18th century, features round-arched windows with leaded lights and raised key- and impost-blocks. The three-bay south wall of the nave contains 13th-century pointed lancet windows, one with a scratch dial, and a paired lancet with a late 19th-century head and mullion. The north wall features an early 14th-century two-light ogee-headed window, a late 19th-century timber and glazed porch, and a 17th-century chamfered round-arched doorway. The tower has a 2-light cinquefoil-headed window above a plain chamfered 4-centred doorway leading to an ancient studded door, which is cemented at its base. Also present are 2-light round-arched belfry windows and a stair-turret with a slit window on the north side.

Inside, the church contains a 13th-century chamfered 2-centred chancel arch. Medieval rood stairs are located in the south-east corner of the nave, along with a squint from the former rood-loft, overlooking the chancel arch. There are three arches above a double piscina with quatrefoil basins. A 13th-century tub font and a hollow-chamfered archway with moulded imposts lead to the tower. Later additions include a rood screen constructed in 1932, a pulpit from 1936, and a nave roof from 1959. Plain 19th and 20th-century wall tablets are in the chancel, and a floor tablet commemorating Jane Willis, who died in 1723, can be found in the nave floor.
