About St Lawrences Church

St Lawrence's Church is an excess Anglican church in the focal point of the town of Evesham, Worcestershire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as an assigned Grade II recorded building, and is under the consideration of the Churches Conservation Trust. It stands near All Saints Church, and to the ringer tower of the previous Evesham Abbey. St Lawrence's Church and its neighbor All Saints were worked by the Benedictine priests of Evesham Abbey in the 12th century.

The primary narrative proof of the congregation is in 1195, and it was devoted by the Bishop of St Asaph in 1295. The congregation was fundamentally modified in around 1470, supplanting the prior chapel. From 1659 it stopped to have its very own vicar and was served by the church of All Saints. The texture of the congregation disintegrated and by the winter of 1718 it had turned out to be unusable. Repairs began in 1737, yet these were done seriously, and the rooftop crumbled in 1800. The congregation was surrendered.

In the mid 19th century, Edward Rudge dispatched the engineer Harvey Eginton, who did a noteworthy re-working in 1836– 37. This included including a north walkway in a comparable style toward the south passageway, and reconstructing the rooftop. Amid the twentieth century, the measure of the gathering declined. In 1978 the area of St Lawrence joined with that of All Saints, and St Lawrence's was pronounced repetitive. It was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust the next year.
