About About the place

St Laurence's Church is a Grade I listed building with a rich history, originally part of a larger Abbey complex. While still functioning as a church, it has been refurbished with a focus on youth engagement, resulting in a unique combination of ancient and contemporary elements. Visitors can appreciate the preserved medieval architecture alongside modern features like a freestanding mezzanine offering elevated views. The churchyard holds historical interest, including remnants from a bombing raid and a peculiar memorial. It currently hosts events like Tango Nuevo dancing nights.
