(ND 4918 9642) St Lawrence's Church (NR) (In Ruins)

OS 6" map (1900)

The roofless ruin of St Lawrence's Church, oriented E-W, is oblong on plan and measures 50ft x 21ft 9in over walls varying in width from 3ft 2in to 3ft 7 1/2in and 8ft 6in high. The south wall contains the doorway near its W end and two original windows. There are no openings in the N wall but there is a window high up in the W and E gables; a second window, built up, is in the E gable at a lower level and is probably an insertion. The date 1621 is incised on the NW skewput and a late building abuts the SW corner of the church.

RCAHMS 1946, visited 1930.

'St Lawrence's Church' is as described and planned by RCAHMS. The burial ground has been extended and is still in use.

Visited by OS (IMT) 14 May 1973.
