With its surrounding churchyard, St Lawrence Church forms an attractive centrepiece to the village of Little Wenlock in Shropshire.
Formerly circular, the graveyard was extended northwards in 1851. It contains several iron slabs of the 18th and 19th centuries and is bounded on the west side by a substantial wall and line of mature yew trees
The churchyard was levelled and tombstones arranged around the perimeter towards the end of the last century, creating a readily accessible area for quiet contemplation as well as a very special setting for the Church itself. A new graveyard has been opened a hundred yards or so to the west of the churchyard in which recent burials have taken place.
