Church Of St Lawrence

The Church of St Lawrence is a parish church with origins likely dating back to the 12th century. The south tower was added in the late 15th or early 16th century, while the north aisle was constructed in 1835 and the chancel and north vestry were completed in 1886. The building features a combination of ashlar, banded ashlar and flint, snecked rubble, and render, topped with tiled roofs that have stone copings.

The church's layout includes a nave, chancel, north aisle, and vestry, with a south tower that also serves as the porch. The south nave wall is supported by 16th-century buttresses, and there is a 12th-century buttress on the west nave wall. The south tower is embattled and has corner obelisks, consisting of two stages separated by weathered strings. It features diagonal buttresses on the first stage, a four-centred, moulded south doorway with a studded plank door, and two-light be fry windows with central mullions and a four-centred head. The nave retains two medieval windows with pointed heads, although these have been altered and the tracery removed. The chancel windows are 19th-century, consisting of two and three lights with unique curvilinear tracery and returned labels, while the north aisle windows are pointed and untraceried.

Inside, the west and south nave walls show a pronounced offset that likely indicates the wall plate level of the original church. The chancel arch is a 19th-century pointed and moulded structure, with the inner order springing from corbels. The nave and aisle feature plastered barrel roofs, while the chancel has a 19th-century two-bay arch-braced collar roof with principals that spring from corbels. Instead of an arcade, the aisle has two iron columns with moulded capitals. The west wall displays two black letter inscriptions dated 1733. There is a late medieval 12-sided font with chamfered sides that transition into a hollow-chamfered square base. Another font located in the porch features a gadrooned bowl and stem, a moulded base, and a gadrooned stone cover, likely dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. An early 18th-century polygonal pulpit has two heights of fielded panelling and a gadrooned cornice and base. The church also contains various 17th, 18th, and 19th-century monuments, with other fittings primarily from the 19th century.
