St Lawrence's church tower



Surrounded by the trees on Lawrence Street all that remains of St Lawrence’s medaeval church is the Norman tower. Late 12th century lower storeys, 13th century windows above and 15th century battlement on top. Sir Thomas Fairfax was married in this church as was St John Vanbrugh.

  2. Wonderful. It looks like the windows have been bricked in. Is it possible to go inside?

  4. There is a door Petrea but it is kept locked and no indication that it is ever open to visitors.
