Description
The Church of St Lawrence is a parish church located on Parrott's Lane in Cholesbury. Originally built in the 13th century, it was largely rebuilt between 1872 and 1873, although the south wall remains from the original structure, utilizing the same foundations and some original materials. The church is constructed from knapped flint with stone dressings and features a tiled roof, along with a 19th-century bellcote at the west end. The south doorway, dating back to the 13th century, has been restored. The church is situated within an Iron Age camp.
