Seen from the road, St Lawrence is a small, fairly plain church. From the north, across the fields, however, it rides its ridge dramatically; the pines and cottages create a sense of an ancient hilltop community. It was almost certainly the site of a Roman station, protecting adjacent Stone Street. The 15th century tower is stark, its buttresses to the west seeming overlarge; the brick parapet serves to accentuate its trimness. The windows all seem to be Victorian, in a Decorated style; Mortlock thought they might echo what was there before, although the body of the church is actually older than the Decorated period
