Church of St Laurence, Upton-cum-Chalvey, Norman church in Upton, Slough, England
The Church of St Laurence stands at Upton Court Road, featuring thick stone walls, a prominent tower, and traditional Norman architectural elements throughout its structure.
Founded in 1150, the church underwent significant restoration between 1850 and 1851 under architect Benjamin Ferrey, preserving its original Norman tower and outer walls.
The church serves as the center of a three-church parish ministry in Upton-cum-Chalvey, maintaining connections with local educational institutions and community organizations.
Located between the M4 motorway and A4 road, the church provides regular services and maintains an active schedule of community events for residents of Slough.
Astronomer William Herschel, discoverer of Uranus, rests at the base of the tower, commemorated by stained glass windows installed in 2001.
