Uploader's Comments

St Lawrence's Church dates from the 13th century. The chancel was added in the 14th century and the tower was built in the 15th century. The rare 'back to back' pews were made in 1759 by James Harrison of Middle Rasen; he was the brother of John Harrison, who built the first marine chronometer. In the nave are box pews dating from the 18th century. Members of the McAuley family donated the window in the north chancel wall together with the vestry screen and font cover. The east and south chancel windows are also very interesting. The tower contains three bells. (A Grade I Listed Building)
