St Lawrence's Church

St Lawrence's Church

St Lawrence, the parish church of All Saints’ and the great Perpendicular bell tower of the Abbey at Evesham together form a spectacular architectural group.

This large and imposing church is of Norman foundation, though it now appears entirely Perpendicular, having been rebuilt in the 16th-century.

It fell into ruin in the 18th-century and but was rescued and restored again by the local architect H Eginton in 1836.

Outside, the east end has a great six-light window with elaborate tracery.

Inside, the early 16th-century chantry chapel of St Clement has richly panelled arches and a beautiful fan vaulted ceiling. The windows contain fabulous glass by many of the major stained glass artists of the last 150 years.
