St Lawrence's is a timber framed church that at the most conservative estimate dates from 1531.

St Lawrence is an unmistakable church perched high on West Wycombe Hill with the famous 'Golden Ball' at the top of the tower. St Lawrence's church at West Wycombe may be one of the most famous of all parish churches in England, but not to do with its architecture or ancient origins. Rather, it owes its popularity to the eccentric Francis Dashwood, Lord le Despence and owner of nearby West Wycombe Park.

St Lawrence’s church is located on the B1151 Wroxham to Stalham road, about halfway between these villages.

St Lawrence’s church is located in Ingworth, a Norfolk village about 2 miles north of Aylsham.

There's an awful lot of historical water under St Ives bridge and chapel. For almost a thousand years it was the only access from the south into St Ives for travellers, pilgrims and traders. At one time the chapel was a pub of ill repute, and Oliver Cromwell blew up the bridge!

Wortley is a small village between Sheffield and Huddersfield, and the imposing parish church in the centre of the village serves what is essentially a rural community. The parish covers about 35 square miles and includes several small hamlets.

St Leonard's is a beautiful church in a beautiful place. It stands high and proud above the town of Hythe, looking towards the coast of France, which can be easily seen on a clear day. Thousands of visitors pass through its doors every year, and enjoy the magnificent architecture and extraordinary crypt.

The parish church of St Leonard is in an isolated and striking position on the slope of a hill overlooking the Arrow Valley.

This archetypal medieval church is set in the heart of the village. It abuts a clearly later square tower (1633) topped by a good spire and on the south side a chapel, refashioned in 1621, juts into the churchyard.
