"St. Lawrence’s Church was ravaged by fire in 1916 and considerably rebuilt. The glazed fleche on the roof of the Church gives a clue to the recent changes - the pillars of the nave were removed a few years ago to give a clear floor area to enable multi-use. Though not approved by everyone, the dramatic interior is worth viewing."
