St Lawrence

Historical records, including those by the respected scholar, the Venerable Bede, indicate the presence of a Christian church at this location as far back as 633 AD. Bede's writings reference both a church and a priest in existence during the time of the Battle of Hatfield, which took place in the same year. This suggests that the site has been a place of Christian worship for nearly 1400 years, a testament to its enduring religious significance.
