A Grade 1 listed mid-fifteenth century building.  It has a wagon roof to the nave whilst the north aisle has a finely decorated seventeenth century wooden ceiling. Following major restoration work St Lawrence reopened fully in Summer 2007.
St. Mary the Virgin, Glanvilles Wootton
"The earliest part of this delightful little church is the 1344 chantry chapel, which was endowed so a priest would say mass for the departed every day for ever."
