- Evesham, Worcestershire (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.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
