St Lawrence church is grade II listed. The present church was built in the Decorated style in 1891 on the site of a previous Georgian church built in 1733 by Revesby Abbey estate owner Joseph Banks, the great grandfather of naturalist Sir Joseph Banks. The 1733 church was built on the site of an even earlier church.

A small redbrick church designed by James Fowler and built by James Banks Stanhope in 1875 as a chapel of ease to Revesby, to save people the bleak journey to the parish church.
