A prominent Norwich landmark

A vast, handsome Medieval city church and prominent Norwich landmark, St Laurence’s has a mighty tower, a clerestory of 11 windows on each side, a long continuous roof covering nave and chancel and two-storied porches to north and south, all set on a steeply sloping site.

It was built between 1460 and 1472, but the tower and chancel may have been finished some 30 years later. Inside there are exquisite Edwardian paintings of saints and angels on panels near the altar. St Laurence is one of three Trust churches in Norwich.
