Church of St Laurence, Upminster, Medieval parish church in Upminster, England

The Church of St Laurence features stone walls, buttresses, and an Essex-style spire, with significant architectural elements dating from the 13th century onwards.

Founded in 1201, the church underwent major renovations in 1862 by architect W. Gibbs Bartleet and additional modifications by Sir Charles Nicholson in 1928.

The church maintains extensive historical archives and records that document significant events in the local community from medieval times to present day.

Services occur every Sunday at 8 AM and 9:30 AM, with additional Wednesday masses at 11 AM and evening services available both in person and online.

The church tower played a role in scientific history when Reverend William Derham used it for experiments to measure the speed of sound.
