Church of St Lawrence
Grade 2* listed building - English Heritage Building ID: 147475
One of two parish churches in the precinct of Evesham Abbey. The other is All Saints (q.v.). Late C15 with an early C16 S chapel. Much restored and partially rebuilt in 1837 to the designs of Harvey Eginton, following semi-dereliction.
One of the two town centre churches which stand within the precinct of Evesham Abbey (the other is All Saints). This duality has never been fully explained, although All Saints' appears to have been the parish church for the east part of the town, St Lawrence's for the west. According to Pevsner, abbeys liked a parish church nearby, to relieve them of parish duties. Redundant since 1978 and in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. '
