Church of St Lawrence, Priddy, Medieval church building in Priddy, England
The Church of St Lawrence features a three-stage west tower with diagonal buttresses, a nave, chancel, north aisle, and both north and south transepts.
Built in 1201, the church underwent substantial restoration between 1881 and 1888 to address structural issues including a deteriorating roof and tower damage.
The church maintains a collection of medieval treasures, including a silver gilt chalice from 1573 and a 15th-century altar frontal with iris designs on Italian brocade.
The church operates within the PEW Benefice of Priddy, Easton and Westbury-sub-Mendip, with regular services conducted by Reverend Alexandra Holmes.
The church stands within a circular churchyard that predates the current structure, containing five bells that were expanded from the original three in 1997.
