The church of ST. LAWRENCE, East Rounton, was restored and almost entirely rebuilt in 1884 by 'I. Lowthian Bell and Margaret his wife.' It is a small rectangular building measuring internally 49 ft. by 15 ft. 9 in. and was apparently of 15th-century date. Some of the ancient masonry is preserved in the north wall, where there are a built-up doorway and an old window. The church has a south porch and west gallery, and a bellcote over the west gable contains one bell. The pointed east window is of three lights, but the side windows are square-headed. At the east end are diagonal buttresses and the roof is of oak covered with red tiles overhanging at the eaves. The font consists of an ancient bowl, roughly squared, with the angles rounded off and tapering below on a modern stem and base. All the fittings are modern.
The plate consists of a paten of 1717, presented by Lady Stanley of Alderley, a plated cup and two pewter plates.
The registers begin in 1584.
