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.

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.

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 the first ‘Actors' Church', as England's first purpose built theatre was nearby, and several important Elizabethan theatre folk, including James and Richard Burbage, are buried in the medieval crypt.

This tiny chapel ‘outside the gate', may well have been built as a chantry chapel in memory of Robert de Tattershall (the grandson of Hugh the Breton who founded Kirkstead Abbey) who died in 1212 and whose effigy it is thought to be, lies beside the altar.

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.

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